Meshtitsa is the village that unites cuisine, nature and astronomy.
It is located only 7 kilometers from the town of Pernik and annually attracts guests and local residents with its various events, the most popular of which are the Feast of Bread and the Night of the Stars. The Feast of Bread takes place on August 31. The program includes activities suitable for people of different ages. Each participant can take part in the preparation of traditional bread with sourdough from hops (a forgotten technology until recently), enroll in a home baking competition, visit an authentic watermill and learn more about the role of bread in the life of a Bulgarian woman with a special lecture. For cosmos lovers, we recommend the Night of the Stars. A perfect opportunity to immerse deep into the secrets of the universe with the help of various telescopes. In addition to gazing at the night sky, you will enjoy learning more about the stars and planets from lectures given by astronomy enthusiasts.
