Geocache Description:


Овчи кладенец е основано в средата на XVII век. Според записките на учителя Господин Марков, селото е основано от копривщенци, които развъждали, купували и продавали овце на това място. Именно от там селото носи и името си.

По време на турското владичество районът е бил горски и там са се подвизавали четите на Кара Кольо и Индже войвода.

Край селото се намира и най-голямото защитно укрепление от времто на Първото българско царство – Еркесия вал. В землището на селото има 17 тракийски могили, които не са проучени.

„Ovchi kladenec” was founded in the middle of the 17th century. According to the notes of the teacher Mr. Markov, the village was founded by people from Koprivshten, who bred, bought and sold sheep in this place. It is from there that the village takes its name.

During the Turkish rule, the area was a forest, and the detachments of Kara Koljo and Inje Voivode were stationed there.

Near the village is the largest defensive fortification from the time of the First Bulgarian Kingdom - Erkesia Wall. There are 17 Thracian mounds in the village's land, which have not been explored.
