The unique in south-eastern Europe open-air museum - the architectural ethnographic complex of Etura is situated at the distance of 8 km south of the centre of the town in the immediate proximity of the Etara quarter and past the Sivek River (at the distance of 3 km from the road-fork to Shipka). It is the most interesting place of interest in the town and one of the most visited site all over Bulgaria. Located over an area of 60 decares the complex lives the authentic life of a typical craftsmanship settlement from the period of Bulgarian Revival.


The way Bulgarian people lived 150 years ago can be perceived and felt here. One can hear the rattle of wheels and mills moved by water, the whiz of the mills for woollen cloths and for flour. Metal ornaments, pottery articles, copper utensils, braids, hot buns and whatever else come out from the skillful hands of the masters there. The little cobblestone streets, the stone cheshmi (drinking-fountains), the gas lanterns, Sakov’s house, the house with the tavern, the clock tower and a lot of other authentic details complete the whole picture. All of these is predominantly the work of the great patriot Lazar Donkov who dedicated his life to this noble cause – to create this authentic ethnographic complex. There is a town bus running to Etura.




The Etar Architectural-Ethnographic Complex
(Bulgarian: Архитектурно-етнографски комплекс „Етър“, usually referred to as Етъра, Etara)

the Bulgarian customs, culture and craftsmanship.

including water installations and houses with craftsmen's workshops attached.

way of life and economy of Gabrovo and the region during the Bulgarian National Revival.



The museum's construction started in 1963 under the direction and project of Lazar Donkov.
The pre-existing Karadzheyka water-mill, built around 1780, was thoroughly reconstructed,
with the other objects being constructed later.
The complex was opened on 7 September 1964 and proclaimed a national park in 1967,
as well as a monument of culture in 1971.



The park features typical Bulgarian revival houses with two floors, bay windows,
a clock tower, and a beautifully decorated house by Saakov featuring 21 windows.

locals represent around 20 characteristics of the regional crafts such as wood-carving,
pottery, coppersmith crafts, furriery, cutlery making, needlework etc.

three star hotel with a bar and a restaurant.
