From Shipka Pass a sideroad runs 12km east to Mt Buzludzha , topped by a bizarre structure resembling a spaceship come to earth, that counterpoints the monument at Shipka. It was on Mt Buzludzha that Hadzhi Dimitar and his rebels died fighting the Turks on August 2, 1868, while the Bulgarian Socialist Party was founded on the same day in 1891, following a clandestine congress, also on the mountain - the museum within the "spaceship" covers both events. Alas, this gem of Communist kitsch can only be reached by car, as there are no longer any buses from Kazanlak.
