Avramovo

Heavy snowfall and rain in several areas of Bulgaria over the past few days have resulted in significant disruptions, causing road closures and traffic problems. Authorities mobilized hundreds of snow-clearing vehicles to address the challenges posed by the wintry conditions.

From 15.30 the movement of trains in the section of the narrow-gauge line between the villages of Tsvetino and Avramovo  was suspended due to a fallen rock mass immediately after tunnel 16.

For this reason, the passenger train from September to Dobrinishte stops waited in the tunnel after the locomotive of the train hit the rock mass at the exit of the tunnel.

Many people gathered in the town of Septemvri on Wednesday to celebrate with a special folklore programme the 70th anniversary of the only operating narrow-gauge railway in Bulgaria.

Bulgaria's only operating narrow-gauge railway runs between Septemvri and the town of Dobrinishte, which is located near the ski resort of Bansko.
