You may learn about the Apostle’s revolutionary activities by visiting the Kakrina Inn. This is one of the destinations that every Bulgarian should visit at least once in their lifetime. RHM-Lovech also owns and operates the Kakrina Inn Museum. It is located in the village of Kakrin. The curators recount the story in a fascinating way, demonstrating a love of history and the Deacon’s work. <\/p>\n

The Zaptiers captured Levski at this location. Following his execution, the inn became empty. A substantial portion of the building was damaged by fire around the end of the nineteenth century. Later, patriotic Bulgarians renovated it. Today, the Kakrina Inn is available to the public from Monday to Sunday. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
