New Zealand Investors Interested in Village in Bulgaria Rhodope Mountains

Sofia News Agency, 19.05.2008

Investors from New Zealand have visited several times the Poprelkata village in the Rhodope Mountains, Smolyan District, with interest in the purchase of old Rhodope style houses. The bad condition of the only road to the village, however, as well as the hardships in finding the heirs to the abandoned houses, who are scattered around Bulgaria, have prevented the New Zealand representatives from making any purchases yet, plovdiv24.com reported. Greek firms are also interested in acquiring property in Poprelkata but have also demanded that the road be repaired. Poprelkata has about 10-12 elderly residents, who make their living by raising cows and sheep. The local people are sure, however, that rural tourism would have a great future in their village because of the nature beauties and the many unexplored Roman archeological objects, which would also provide basis for the development of cultural tourism. Several caves and the Garga Dere Canyon are located close to the village as is the grave of the heroine from the legendary Bulgarian folk song "Rufinka Bolna Legnala".
