Discover Razlovci

• A 13 km mountain hiking trail passes through Kukulje and Bajaz Tepe to Razlovci on Mount Sredna.
• The “Razlovečko vostanie” memorial house stands above the village houses.
• A memorial plaque to Pop Stojan has been at the entrance to the Church of Saints Constantine and Helena since 2012.
• The Municipality of Delčevo’s 2026 cultural program included a hiking march and an exhibition at the memorial house.

The 13 km trail starts in Nov Istevnik, passes the Kukulje site and the summit of Bajaz Tepe, and ends in Razlovci on Mount Sredna. It is described as a mapped and marked route. The sequence of named stops gives you a clear idea of which places are connected by this hike.

This is distinct from the hiking march “Po vrvicite na vostanicite,” which was planned for the celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the Razlovci Uprising. Its route was to run from Trabotivishte via Loshana to Razlovci. The two routes differ in their starting points and courses. For your plans, the 13 km route is therefore the clearly described hiking option, while the other route is part of the celebration program.

The reconstructed “Razlovečko vostanie” memorial house stands above the village houses and is dedicated to the Razlovci Uprising. It was opened to visitors on the occasion of the celebration marking the uprising’s 150th anniversary. The house includes a library and a cinema hall. These architectural and cultural features make the memorial house an important topic alongside the hiking route.

The memorial plaque to Pop Stojan also connects the local history with a specific place: it was installed in 2012 at the entrance to the Church of Saints Constantine and Helena. Pop Stojan was the leader of the 1876 Razlovci Uprising.

The Municipality of Delčevo’s 2026 cultural program included an exhibition at the memorial house and a hiking march. The march from Trabotivishte via Loshana to Razlovci was also planned for the celebrations marking the uprising’s 150th anniversary. These details relate to the 2026 program and do not indicate that the event is held regularly.

The cultural program for the uprising’s anniversary, held in the courtyard of the Church of “Sv. car Konstantin i carica Elena” in Razlovci, includes performances by cultural associations, an art colony, an art exhibition, and a hiking march. This brings together two distinct ways of engaging with Razlovci: the history of the uprising and the cultural events that commemorate it.

The Delčevo City Museum “Pijanec” preserves the region’s historical, archaeological, and ethnological heritage. Its archaeological collection spans from the Neolithic period, around 5000 BC, to the late Middle Ages in the 14th century AD, and includes ceramic, stone, metal, and glass objects. The ethnological collection covers, among other things, extensive farming, livestock breeding, and the crafts of self-taught artisans.

Other cultural themes can be found in different parts of the wider Delchevo destination: in Dramče, local residents perform Kopachkata, a dynamic and energetic social dance; in 2014, the dance was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. In Zvegor, the Surova masked custom is observed on Vasilica Day, January 14. For comparison with Razlovci’s memorial and uprising history, these examples offer a distinct perspective on dance and masking traditions.

Delchevo also offers a wider range of landscapes: Mount Golak is under special protection across 12,500 hectares, including the protected “Goce Delchev” park forest. Discover more destinations: Dramche.
