Location:
Hotel ''Unikat" is situated at the center of the beautiful historic town - Batak. The town is famous with its history and beautiful mountain nature.
Batak’s lands are sprinkled with many monuments to the area’s culture throughout the ages. The oldest of these treasures was discovered at the archeological dig “Kremenete,” near the present day reservoir “Golyam Beglik,” by the historian Yosef Shopov, in 1958. Also in this area, in a cave in the locality of “Krivov Chark,” workers excavating building stones uncovered the remains of large animals. Researchers at the institute of paleontology, a branch of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, confirmed the remains as the bones of a rhinoceros. This archeological site contains fossils from the tertiary epoch, a period in which broad-leaved trees and mammals began to appear, and the Rhodopi region lacked snow and cold winters. All the visitors of the town can enjoy this perfect combination of history and nature and visit the new hotel ''Unikat"

An old Roman road runs through the area, from Pazardjik, to Peshtera, to Batak, passing through an area once known as “Kasukskoto Kale” or “Batashko Gradishte,” located to the northeast of present-day Batak. Along this road also stood the castle “Biglata.” To the east of Batak stood the “Novamahalska.” Castle, and in the vicinity of the peak “Batashki Snezhnik,” stood “Kamenishko” castle. In the “Beglika” area stood two interesting castles, “Monastira,” in the “Gerdjikov” meadow, and the “Toshboazko” castle, just south of the dam wall of the present day reservoir “Golyam Beglik.” According to one legend, the “Toshboazko” castle belonged to a Bulgarian Princess from Chepino, but after the Ottoman Empire began arriving in the Balkan Peninsula, the Rhodpi Mountains were the last region to be occupied, and subsequently the castle was destroyed. In the area surrounding the castle, the foundations of a monastery can still be seen today. The area provides spectacular views of reservoir “Golyam Beglik.”
