People from Lozengrad turned white! One of the last villages near the border with Greece was covered with fluffy snow cover on April 8, and its inhabitants, as well as those from nearby villages, were surprised by the snow, 24rodopi.com writes.
“It surprised us because we have already planted potatoes, tomatoes, whatever. The trees also bloomed, but I don’t think he’ll scald them this time. Now they allow the temperature to rise again to 20 degrees, the ground will dry quickly, it may even be useful, “said Yasen from Orlitsa, who came to Lozengradtsi on business.
He and his interlocutor Radoslav, whom we meet at the local store, are not so worried about the snow in the spring, they are more worried about the depopulation of the villages.
“We in our village are mostly pensioners, about 75 people. The others who caught the West – England, Germany, all disappear. Some are in Sofia, there are also in Kardzhali, “says Yasen.
In Lozengradtsi of about 130 houses, no more than 70 are inhabited.
“There are many retirees, and young people have fled to cities and abroad. There are big and nice houses, but there is no one inside, “Radoslav said.
While…
“They come from Plovdiv, from Sofia, from the interior to look for houses here. And foreigners come, mostly English. They used to ask a lot, but the locals did not give them, but now they are selling them “, says Radoslav, for whom the option with foreigners is acceptable, the important thing is not to leave the village.
“There will be no problem with foreigners, we will understand. To come, the important thing is to have people, “added the old man.
