There are 50 sites in the complex – houses with craftsman’s workshops, water facilities and other buildings. There you can find the only collection of technical facilities powered with water. At the crafts’ bazar in Etyr, you can see 16 houses that are exact replicas of buildings that existed in the past in Gabrovo. The craftsman’s workshops are also open for the visitors who are interested in witnessing how different products are crafted.
