Berkovitsa Museums and Kom Peak

The Ethnographic Museum in Berkovitsa presents the life and customs of north-western Bulgaria, with costumes, carpets, jewellery and household objects. The Ivan Vazov House Museum is where the writer lived in 1879–1880 while he was chairman of the district court.

Kom Peak (2,016 m) in the western Balkan Mountains, south of the town, is the symbol of Berkovitsa. It is also the starting point of the Kom–Emine trail, the long-distance route along the Balkan range to the Black Sea.
