== The Host City ==
The Host city for this FSC #142-edition is Etropole, Bulgaria, a town in western Bulgaria, part of Sofia Province. It is located 87 km north-east of Sofia and close to the northern slopes of the Balkan Mountains (Stara Planina, a mountain range that is in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula) in the valley of the Iskar River (a tributary of the Danube/Donau River, the longest river in Bulgaria).
It is one of the oldest villages in the region and its story began at the time of the Thracians, when the territory was inhabited by the tribe Luposi, from where name of the village most likely origins. Etropole as a town has occupied a significant place in the history of many events in the region over the years, also in the liberation of the Bulgarian people during the Renaissance. The people of the region subsequently also took part in the Serbo-Bulgarian War, the Balkan Wars, the First and Second World Wars. As a result, then Etropole region has many historical sites and monuments.
Places worth seeing in Etropole include the clockwork tower of Etropole built in 1710 and one of the oldest in Bulgaria. It originally served as a defensive structure until in 1821 a master builder by the name of Dido reconstructed it as a clock tower. With its height at about 20 metres it stands above most of the buildings in the small town. The clockwork tower is one of the 100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria.
The Etropole Monastery, also known as Varovitets, is located 5 km (3 mi) from the town. It is a Bulgarian Orthodox monastery, that was founded in the 12th or 13th century. The monastery is also the home of the spectacular Etropole Waterfall “Varovitets”. The Museum of Etropole, is still housed in its restored building. The building was constructed in the period 1853-1870. 
Also worth seeing are the waterfall, the Eagle stone, Grohotaka, Kozi Dol, Belikasha, Bachiyshte, Crow water, and Dolls. Buried in soft and pleasant greenery, and among beautiful meadows and mountains, refreshed by the clear sparkling streams, the Etropole area provides wonderful places for recreation, relaxation and visitor enjoyment, all amidst a welcoming and generous local populace.
