Pleven is a town nestled in the heart of the Danubian Plain in northwest Bulgaria just slightly north of the Vit River. It is most notable as one of the greatest ecologically clean cities in all of Bulgaria, which extends to the area outside of Pleven too, including forests and parks that work to filter out air pollution. The town has a rich history and is home to many historic monuments, the Kailak fortress, the Pleven Epopee Panoramic Exhibition, and the tumulus within Skobelev Park. It is also well known for the old bridge that crosses the Vit River and the Pleven Epic 1877 Panorama.
