National Celebration at Okolchitsa Peak in Memory of Bulgarian Hero Hristo Botev
June 2 - Botev's Day is celebrated with a traditional national pilgrimage to Okolchitsa peak.
The emblematic verse "He who falls in the fight for freedom, he does not die" was again proclaimed on the mountainous Vratsa Balkan, where hundreds gathered to pay tribute to the Bulgarian heroes, 146 years after the heroic death of the poet-revolutionary.
