Pelelanovska Konak
[ourpick] Pelelanovska Konak This traditional Rodopean mehana may be in the back streets, across the river, but it’s well worth seeking out. Tucked inside a little enclosure, it has cosy outdoor seating and a spacious, hunting-lodge interior with pelts and antlers on the walls. The enormous menu, strong on local dishes, includes the ‘chef’s special’ satch, a riotous mixture of various meats, cheese and vegetables baked in a clay pot. Service is friendly and attentive.

Museum of Speleology & Karst
Also called the Cave Museum, the Museum of Speleology & Karst is unique in Bulgaria and, possibly, the Balkans. Minerals, bottled bats, remains of ancient cave-dwelling animals such as lions and bears, are exhibited, along with displays on the Trigrad and Yagodina caves. A tape in English and German gives explanations. The museum’s in the Hotel Pesternika building, 200m up from the bus station on the hillside.

Orion Ski
Hire ski gear at Orion Ski, by the lift, though note few instructors are available. Chepelare has a ski factory, and you can buy cheap, good-quality ski gear.
