Horizontal road markings around the Municipality of Veliko Tarnovo are to remain in better condition due to a “cold plastic” treatment – the process is slower but is guaranteeing greater durability.
Currently the road markings are wearing away due to weather and tyre traffic. Therefore, Veliko Turnovo Municipality is appealing to citizens to submit specific alerts for missing or erased markings. You can email mayorvt@vt.bia-bg.com
The old radiotherapeutic oncology unit in Veliko Tarnovo has had a makeover and has already had installed state of the art equipment to treat cancers with a higher success rate. The equipment ensures a 50 to 100% success rate.
The contract for the transformation was agreed in March 2012 and will be completed August this year (2015), where there will be a ‘cutting the ribbon’ ceremony to open the renovated healthcare facility.
The new equipment boasts the latest generation linear accelerator, CT scanner, as well as equipment that helps the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
“This type of equipment has a higher precision of radiation and preservation of surrounding organs outside the volume of irradiation,”
Planning your summer vacation and wondering where to go – well it appears that the Bulgarian lev is now being accepted in Greece. Apparently Euros are running so low in Greece that shops and restaurants are accepting Bulgarian and Turkish currencies.
Greece is rapidly running out of money and businesses and consumers are having to find new ways to attract tourists. The Bulgarian Lev is particularly appealing because it is pegged to the euro, meaning it’s easy and safe to convert prices. €1 is worth 1.95 Bulgarian Lev.
There is a unique blend of ceramics and photography happening in the unspoilt village of Hotnitsa at a gate called ‘Odyssey’, in the beautiful Bulgarian countryside. A perfect holiday destination for rest, relaxation and immersing yourself in village life which has hardly changed for centuries. The village boasts the famous Hotnitsa waterfalls and Eco Trail, yet is only 15km from the historic old capital of Veliko Tărnovo in the foothills of the Stara Planina Mountains.
A cracking ride for the HOTNITSA VELOS who cycled in stunning weather last Sunday July 5th through fields of sunflowers, empty roads (except for the odd mule cart or goat herder). They even found some gnarly off roading along side the River Yantra – not for the faint hearted.
Love exploring your local areas on a bike and feeling connected to the landscape, then join the VELOS on their weekly jaunt – everyone is welcome. They like to create a bit of a stir in the villages, especially when stopping for midway caffeine fixes.
Their next big ride is in the Stara Planina foothills later in the summer and details will be posted on their FB page HOTNITSA VELOS. A keen cyclist or just a novice get in touch and explore Veliko Tarnovo under your own steam – literally.
