Yablanitsa is a small town picturesquely scattered in between the average size massifs of Dragoitsa and Lissets, spurs of Stara Planina Mountain. It is situated at a distance of 80 km from the Capital-Sofia.

This area was populated even during the Old Stone, Stone-Copper and Bronze Ages. There are numerous Thracian mounds scattered around the town, part of them being thoroughly explored. The monastery Sveti Georgi Pobedonosets(10 km away from Yablanitsa)is perched on a rock ridge in the massive Lisets and it resembles medieval fortress.
The cave Saeva Dupka is 14km south of Yablanitsa. The cave is around 3.5 million years old. It is called the underground pearl, because it is one of the most beautiful caves in Bulgaria.
