What is worth noticing
In Leshten the walk itself is the main experience. Look at the stone foundations, the wooden parts of the houses and the way the streets follow the terrain. Choose a place for a break and leave time for photos. Some of the buildings are private homes or places to stay; a beautiful courtyard does not mean free access.
Staying in the village or a base nearby
If you want your evening and morning to be in Leshten itself, choose accommodation there. If the visit is only one part of a trip with a spa, look at a base in Baldevo. The advantage is that you can change the day's plan without changing rooms.
A practical plan
Leave the car in a permitted place and continue on foot. Choose shoes with a good grip for the uneven surfaces. For a first visit plan a relaxed look around, lunch or coffee and the return; this is a suggested pace, not an organised excursion with a fixed length.
Add Kovachevitsa only if you have time
The two villages can be part of one day. If you want more time to rest, split them. See the weekend route and choose an option to suit your group.
