A protected Strandzha village of stone and timber houses.
Brashlyan is an architectural reserve: seventy-odd houses in the regional style, a wooden church, a school museum and a cobbled lane running through the middle of it. The whole village is listed.
It is the clearest picture anywhere of how the Strandzha lived before the coast was built — and it is deep in the forest, which is half the pleasure of getting there.
