The history of the village dates from the end of Chiprovtsi Uprising (broken on September 6, 1688 from Osmans).

Because cholera broke out, some of the people moved to the local blacksmith, who lived 5 km from the river, where now lies the village - and from there is the origin of the name Kovachitsa.

There lived Grandmother Stoyna, which has welcomed the Turks sail, who were drawn by people.

The legend is that Grandmother Stoyna was poisoned they wine while Turks dined, after that threw their corpses into a well (along with all valuables they wore), liberating slaves and sail placed along a river.

The river Danube is 5 km from a dusty road in North, perfect for off-road fans, it also offers opportunity for fishing (pikes, catfish, cod and others), also for sunbathing on the shore.
