Kazanlak's municipality includes the towns of Kazanlak, with a population of 71,073, the town of Shipka and eighteen villages with a population of 24,980.
The Tundra River extends lengthwise across the Kaznaluk valley feeding the Koprinka Dam Lake. The excavated ruins of the ancient Roman town of Sevtopolis, named for the Thracian Czar Sevt II, lies just below the waters of Koprinka. There are approximately 1500 sepulchral hills in the Kazanlak region and nine Thracian tombs in close proximity to the town of Kazanlak. Two of these tombs, uncovered in 1993 at the Ostrusha Hill, are considered important in the archeological community- the Kazanlak Tomb (late fourth to early third century B.C.) and the Shipka Tomb Mausoleum.
Warm mineral springs near the villages of Ovosthnik, Yagoda and Pavel Banaya in the Kazanlak area, attract national and international tourists to partake of the soothing medicinal waters and enjoy the natural surroundings. These waters are rich in minerals and taste providing the potential investor with opportunities for successful bottling and exporting and an avenue for tourism development.
While the transitional-continental climate produces an average temperature of 1 degree C. in January, July temperatures average 21 degrees C.
