Dobrich, Bulgaria
The city of Dobrich is located in the most eastern part of the Danube plain and is part of the fertile Dobrudzha region, characterized by flat hills and wide valleys. The average annual air temperature is 10.2°C with -22.7°C registered in January and +39.1°C registered in August. The spring season is comparatively cool, the autumns are warm because of the Black Sea influence. The region is windy, with a low percentage of calm weather – at about 20% at average per year.
Varna International Airport (only 40 km from Dobrich), provides a convenient means to reach various international cities.
In the city center is the open-air architectural and ethnographic museum “The Old Dobrich”, which shows the typical architecture, way of life and economic past of the town of Dobrich from the end of 19th century and the beginning of 20th century. Here is presented the manufacturing process of the traditional Bulgarian crafts like tailoring, knitting, wood turnery, goldsmith’s craft, etc. Very attractive for the visitors is the opportunity to participate in the making of pottery, to visit the cafe and taste the traditional white jam. Other places of interests are the historical museum, which bears 163 000 museum exhibits, the Ethnographic house – proclaimed for an architectural and cultural monument, the famous Icon Hall located in the Art Gallery, “St. George” Church – to have a look at its rich iconostasis.
The art gallery of Dobrich is over 35 years old and has the status of a city art museum. It features over 3,000 works of art – paintings, sculptures, black and white drawings, figurines and works of plastic arts by artists of various generations.
The works are exhibited in one of the stateliest buildings – a monument of architecture built in the 1930s. The art gallery boasts masters such as Mrkviska, Vladimir Dimitrov – Maystora (Vladimir ‘the Master’ Dimitrov), Zlatyu Boyadzhiev, Bencho Obreshkov, Alexander Petrov, Vasil Zahariev, Pencho Balkanski, Dechko Uzunov, etc. A number of traveling exhibitions from France, Spain, Poland, Slovakia, Cuba, etc. have been displayed here. The art gallery is a venue for concerts, video presentations, recitations and meetings. Visitors to Dobrich take particular interest in the resident exhibitions ‘Old masters’ and ‘Modern artists’.
The region of Dobrich consists of eight municipalities, including Balchik, Kavarna and Shabla. Here are also the romantic seaside settlements of Durankulak, Cape Kaliakra and Kamen Brjag. The region has very good natural tourism resources, which are preserved in their natural form. It is famous for its numerous mineral springs, as well as the healing medical mud (near the town of Shabla), favourable for the development of balneological tourism. Other forms of tourism are business and congress tourism, as well as hunting, rural and culture tourism.
