The "Nature and Heritage" Visitor House is one of the few yet highly valuable cultural and educational tourism destinations in the municipality of Laki. Officially opened in 2016 under the "Underground Stars and the Rhodope Past" project, this attractive house serves as a bridge between yesterday and today. It offers visitors an immersive journey into the daily life, ancient crafts, and hidden subterranean treasures of the Rhodope Mountains. Exhibitions and Cultural Treasures - The Vibrancy of Rhodope Costumes: The first room houses a captivating collection of authentic regional costumes and attire. The exhibition highlights the diversity of the area, showing how each individual village in the Laki municipality preserved its own unique decorations, ornamentation, and distinct color schemes. - The Heart of the Rhodope Home: The second room is arranged as a traditional Rhodope kitchen, filled with tools and artifacts from daily life and cottage industries. The centerpiece of this room is a large wooden loom—visitors are welcome to examine it closely and even take a seat to experience the craft firsthand. - The Mining Museum: The third room pays tribute to the historic male livelihood of the region—ore mining. Operating as a mini-museum, it showcases the underground wealth of the Rhodopes through an array of stunning mineral crystals, donated directly from the personal collections of local miners.
