The village of Ribaritsa has a population of 1400 inhabitants and it is the most picturesque among the thirteen towns and villages in the municipality of Teteven. It is situated at 600m above the sea level at the foot of the Teteven Balkan, 12km southeast of the town of Teteven. The village stretches for 12 whole kilometers in the valley of the river Beli Vit and its feeders and it is not accidentally called Ribaritsa. And the bronze figure of the fisherboy- the symbol of the resort, is seen on a rock on the right side of the road at the very beginning of the village.
The charm of Ribaritsa lies in the great number of neat and small houses scattered through the whole resort, buried in greenery and flowers, offering not only silence and calmness, but also the opportunity to feel the authentic unique village atmosphere and home coziness. Here, in Ribaritsa, the traditions are still alive: the old watermills keep on milling, the fulling mills continue fulling the colourful Ribaritsa rugs, the stills are boiling the famous Ribaritsa plum rakia, the skilful housewives are preparing the delicious forest fruit jams, the stock-breeders are making the popular Balkan white brined cheese, the craftsmen’s dexterous hands are creating the beauty out of wool and wood. The biggest attraction of Ribaritsa is the wild nature of the National Park
