Chavdar, Mountain village in Sofia Province, Bulgaria
The village spans across the Zlatitsa-Pirdop Basin near the Balkan Mountains at an elevation of 570 meters above sea level.
Archaeological excavations near the Topolnitsa River uncovered seven cultural layers, including Neolithic communities dating back 7,000 years with polychromatic pottery.
The village changed its name from Radoslavovo to Chavdar in 1946, commemorating the Bulgarian resistance group that operated during World War II.
Visitors can reach Chavdar via the first-class Podbalkan road, located 71 kilometers east of Sofia and 11 kilometers southwest of Zlatitsa.
The Topolnitsa Archaeological Park features reconstructed Neolithic buildings, ancient workshops, climbing walls, and an observation tower for educational experiences.
