On 1 November 2026, Bulgaria’s National Revival Leaders Day, members of the Bulgarian Association for Recreation and Tourism (BART) with permanent disabilities visited Tsarnogorski Monastery, Zemen Monastery and Kyustendil.

The day trip gave participants a chance to spend the holiday together and explore the cultural heritage of western Bulgaria. The itinerary combined visits to two Bulgarian monasteries with time in Kyustendil.

Through this initiative, BART continues to encourage people with disabilities to take part in tourism and cultural events.
