Finding love and hope on the Love Bench

A warm embrace, a handshake, a kiss – all of them things the world had to do without in 2020 to save lives, though they come as a reminder of life’s true value.

If you prefer emotions to teddy bears or chocolates, then we suggest you find the romantic Love Bench near Dryanovo. People who have been there say it is a very special place, in surrounded by a beautiful forest, which, in summer, is like a deep green sea. The place offers a clear view of Dryanovo monastery, as well as the railway line and the picturesque Dryanovska River canyon.

The Love Bench has witnessed love, it has seen hugs, and even marriage proposals.
