Laki: Hotels and Accommodations
Laki is located in the northeastern Western Rhodopes, in a deeply carved mountainous area crossed by the Manastirska, Belishka, Dryanovska, Yugovska and Lakinska rivers. A specific starting point for hikes is the Komin-Dere Eco Educational Trail: it begins in Laki and leads for approximately 4 km to the hamlet of Braykovitsa. Along the way, there are three shelters, a panoramic viewpoint and four information boards. The trail also passes protected and rare plants, relicts and endemic species.
Nature
The Municipality of Laki includes part of the Red Wall Nature Reserve, recognized by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve, as well as four registered natural landmarks. These include the Slivodolsko-Padalo Waterfall, a registered natural landmark in the Red Wall Reserve that is 52 meters high. Another approximately 4 km-long eco educational trail runs along the Manastirska River to the Holy Spirit Waterfall. It includes stairs, handrails, a footbridge and rest areas.
The Giumburtia Waterfall is located on the Belishka River, approximately 2 km beyond Belitsa and near the Kormisosh residence. A diverse range of wildlife is found in the Laki area, including brown bears, chamois, mouflon, wolves, red deer, protected bird species, otters and reptiles. The Kormisosh state game farm offers fishing, horseback riding, ecotourism, wildlife photography and excursions to historical sites and natural attractions.
Things to Do
The Belitsa Cave Eco Educational Trail begins at the first houses of Belitsa, on the access road from Laki. It follows the Belishka River and the slopes of the Krushevska mountain ridge and is suitable for family visits. Its destination is a natural cave with drawings of animals and people resembling prehistoric paintings.
Culture
The House of Nature and Cultural Heritage in Laki is located about ten minutes from the town center. It displays an ethnographic collection and regional crystal formations; a touchscreen terminal also provides information about tourist destinations and cultural activities in the region.
The Church of the Holy Trinity, built in 1842, stands in Yugovo. It preserves 19th-century wall paintings and an iconostasis with icons from 1846 to 1851. The Krastova Gora–Holy Trinity Monastery complex is a pilgrimage center with healing water from Ayazmoto. Traditional regional crafts that have been preserved include woodcarving, woodworking, weaving on a horizontal loom, knitting, sewing and embroidery.
Practical Information
Transportation in the Municipality of Laki is entirely by road. Poorly maintained fourth-class roads make access to tourist attractions and some settlements more difficult. The Municipality of Laki is located near the resort of Pamporovo and Bachkovo Monastery. The town has a tourist information center with detailed information about attractions, accommodations and the municipality’s events calendar.
Regional Cuisine
Traditional Rhodope cuisine is associated with potatoes as well as dairy and animal products. Local activities also include beekeeping, fish farming and raspberry cultivation.
