There are five eco-paths in the surrounding areas which are suitable for long strolls, as well as for horse-riding and cycling. One of the most popular landmarks near Apriltsi is the waterfall called Vidimsko Praskalo. It is 80 meters high and attracts tourists throughout the year. Apriltsi is a part of the Central Balkan National Park where Bulgarians and foreigners can visit many of the country’s nature reserves. Apriltsi also played an important role in the Bulgarian National Movement in 19th century and many buildings in the town speak about that role nowadays. Old houses and churches are among the many signs of the importance of that period of time.
