Bulgaria’s Traditional Damask Rose Festival 🌹 Българският Фестивал на Розите 🌹Harvesting Season 🌹

Join me as we celebrate Bulgaria’s Traditional Rose Festival - together! 🌹 During our adventure we will havest roses, extract rose oil & rose water, dance alongside ‘Kukieri’ (Кукери) and girls in Носии (Trditional Clothing) to Ethnic Bulgarian Music (Блгарска Народна Музика). We will also visit the historical houses of Vasil Levski and Ivan Vazov, two of Bulgaria’s greatest Naional Heros… as well as make a stop at an Ostrich Farm where we will enjoy ostrich egg crème brûlée!!! 🥚 🍮

🌹 Bulgaria, a magical country nestled on Ancient Thracian land, is otherwise known as “The Land of the Roses”. Alongside being the world’s largest producer of top quality Damask Rose Oil, Bulgaria also boasts some of the world’s finest cosmetics, due to it’s rich land and abundance of natural herbs, oils, spices and essential oils 🌹

This video is so lovely, so many dances, roses, traditional dresses. Lot of history, truly beautiful place. Everything is so beautiful there. Bulgarian traditional culture is unique. Really Rose has deep connection with Bulgaria, Rose oil, water, different products. Ancient Bulgarian tools are almost look like other ancient tools but the life style may be different and beautiful. You are doing great ❤, love to watch, existing for the next video. 🌹💗

I've known about this for years, but we generally only come to Bulgaria in June/July, so I've never been. Some day.

[karipreston]

As usual, a wonderful look into Bulgarian life….past and present 💕

[lsls]

As always you showed us something that I would never have seen otherwise. Love it. You are so great at explaining, your voice so soothing and full love love. Can’t wait for the next video!

I'm going to put this video in my favorites for the info for next year! I definitely want to go there. We have 1 bush in our garden and I'm going to try to makes some facial cream with this, thee and jam 😅🤞 You are indeed very good in the storytelling and I will not forget the word "Strauss" again 😊

The plant that stings and makes your skin super itchy is called nettle. İts considered a super food. My mother in law makes a kind of soup with it. 😊🇨🇦🇹🇷✌️

I wasn't aware of this, so it's interesting to see, you're a good storyteller.
If it's more valuable than gold, I'm wondering why the whole agriculture sector isn't devoted to it ? Is it factory farmed ? Do the big perfumiers own rose farms in Bulgaria ?
The history of the people sounds interesting. I recall being exposed to European population flows and morphing in Patrick Leigh Fermor's books about his travels and, as a Brit, with a history of less population movement, find it mind boggling.

You probably know already, but in England we have Morris Dancers. Not the same as your Kukeri but still a traditional part of summer here.

I think Bulgaria is more famous for the yogurt than the roses but both are a great ID card for the country

[VWApachey]

I really want to go see this . Didn't know that rose water could be drank. I think that you was moving the phone/camera a little to quickly for my slow eyes

[micahthompson]

When I lived in Romania for a time as a volunteer, I was once given a jar of rose jam from Moldova. I might could get use to it. But would still prefer berry jams to that> apricot, blackberry, strawberry, raspberry, etc. Maybe you should consider a second career as a tour guide. You really are very good at this type thing. You keep my attention. 🙂

[CavityCreep]

You really make good videos, I enjoy them! How far is this City from your Village? It seems if you want to get a little City life you can always go there for a coffee, beer or a meal ... Greetings again from Naples, Florida :)

Hello! Another beautiful video. A quick question...I resell custom clothing and home goods based on Eastern European embroidery designs. Are there artisans there that would wholesale? Just curious

[kosmicheskiprah]

Explaining the history of Bulgaria is just crazy. We are so old, you forgot to mention that we had 2 empires, creators of the Glagolitic (now Cyrillic), yes we originally came from Asia but so did the Magyars and many other tribes in Europe centuries ago. You also forgot to mention that we are officially the only country in Europe that has NEVER changed its name since its creation in 681. The rose, the Cyrillic alphabet, our sour milk and not yoghurt, the lion (lev just like our currency) are the many symbols of the country. I would say we also have one of the most beautiful hymns in the world, a Women Choir and a great culture. We have not survived for centuries by chance even occupied by Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans who were most barbaric, Soviets and would say EU. Because it is not focused on its citizens anymore and became too political. Finally, would say we are proud of our flag and display it in many places. I have 2 in my small balcony. And what about our banging music? The Bulgarian music videos have millions and millions of views. Are those all not good reasons to feel proud? What about the tolerance and serenity we have compared to ex Yugoslavia, financial crisis in Greece and now weak Turkish economy? We had 5 elections in 2 years surpassing even Israel but still managed to survive. ДА ЖИВЕЕ БЪЛГАРИЯ!
