Gabrovo is a small town located in the central region of Bulgaria, almost in the geographical center of this country.

The city is located on the left slope of the Stara Planina mountain range, not far from Shipkinsky pass. The Yantra River flows through the city.

The main attraction of Gabrovo is the architectural and ethnographic complex Etar. This complex is an open-air museum that tells the story of Bulgarian life, culture and crafts from the 18th to 19th centuries. This museum has a whole collection of 10 objects, powered by water, which served to call it the best technical collection of open museums in Europe.
The opening of the ethnographic complex Etar took place on September 7, 1964, and three years later it was declared a national park. In 1971, the ethnographic complex Etar received the status of a cultural monument. The history of the park began with the restoration of the water mill that existed here, and other facilities were soon built. The creation of Etara consisted mainly in the restoration and transfer of the original structures. In addition, some copies of the original structures were also built.
