Shiroka Laka
Traditional Rhodope architecture, music and mountain atmosphere in one of the region’s best-known historic villages.
Shiroka Laka is one of the Central Rhodopes’ most distinctive villages, known for its stone-and-timber Revival architecture, musical traditions and steep mountain setting.
Why add it to a Plovdiv route
It gives a cultural counterpoint to the resort landscape of Pamporovo and works especially well as part of an overnight Rhodope loop. The village is also a natural stop between Pamporovo and routes towards Devin and the Trigrad area.
