It is situated on several hills separated by a strongly meandering Yantra River here, of which the most important are Sveta Gora, Tsarevets and Trapezitsa. We paid particular attention to the location of the houses, which seemed like they stood one on the other. We learned that the location of the city forced the special, extremely narrow structure. When you returned, full of impressions, we went to the gala dinner, where the main attraction was the audiovisual show " Music and Light " viewed from the observation deck of the restaurant. After an extraordinary presentation there was a disco for children led by professional DJs . The next day we got to know the history of Bulgaria. First we went to a small village Etyram, which in 1964 was transformed into a picturesque open-air museum "in the open" depicting the living conditions of the eighteenth and nineteenth century Bulgarian village. We saw dozens of different kinds of old houses, shops and craft workshops and working here bakers, saddlers, millers, potters, blacksmiths and weavers who produce on-site clay pots, textiles, fur coats, bread and folk instruments. Next on the agenda was a trip to the village Bożenci, in which the architectural museum depicting the living conditions of the Bulgarian village the National Revival period.

Our Polish children presented a dance routine to the song "Chocolate" and then danced together with all the participants from the partner countries. On Friday we went to the charming village of Arbanasi, located on a scenic plateau, where the present day survived five historic churches and nearly a hundred historic buildings. We saw among others, elevated at the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth century church of the Nativity , hidden behind a stone wall of seventeenth century house Konstancaliewa and a church of the archangels Michael and Gabriel . In this village, we ate traditional Bulgarian meal of roast lamb, watched a performance of folklore and learned folk dance steps. On the way back we walked to the horse farm, where children could try horse riding. After returning we had time to finally use the hotel's swimming pool, which was awaited impatiently by our pupils. During the stay the students had many opportunities to integrate with the participants from the partner schools. Social activities , sightseeing, accommodation in a hotel, meals and fun allowed grinding of English and overall social development of children.
