History

Traces of the pre-historic man's presence (late Paleolithic age - 40 000-14 000 B.C.) were discovered on the municipality's territory.
In the regions of the volcanic formations (the hills by the villages of Varbovka and Boutovo), west of Pavlikeni, several ceramic centres came into existence during the Thracian-Roman period. The unique for the Balkan Peninsula antique ceramic centre, which existed from c.3 to c.5 A.D., is situated 4 km to the west of Pavlikeni.
The uncovered foundations of residential buildings and workshops have been conserved and displayed. The constructed basis for exhibition of the movable findings and carrying out of scientific projects, and the overall development of the adjoining territory, increase the museum's value as a tourist object as well.
There are preserved interesting objects and memorable places from the struggle against the Ottoman oppression. The more important of them are marked with monuments and maintained. Such are the areas of Kosmatitsa by the village of Varbovka, Kanladere by the village of Vishovgrad, Karapanova Koria, etc. The listed objects are only a small part of all historical landmarks, but were chosen because they harmonize best with their environment.

RECREATION AND TOURISM

The hilly type of some settlements, the environment and the interesting natural sights in the municipality are prerequisites for the development of tourism. There has already been established an organisation for rural tourism. There are numerous terrains for construction of tourist bases. There are not any polluters of air, water and soil above the safe norms.
The municipality's water resources are assessed from several aspects: directly - as objects of visual attractiveness, as natural elements with a physiological effect (bathing, swimming), and indirectly - as a resource for water supply (an influence upon farming and tourism).
The most attractive of the underground waters are the Karst springs, e.g. the Mussinski Spring, which is one of the largest in this part of the country.
Of the surface running waters, the waterfall of the Negovanka River is the most worthy of notice. Some sections of the Rossitsa River's bed are also of interest.
Despite the purely technical problems of the domestic water supply, the territory has substantial reserves of fresh water of good drinking quality.
