The village of Obidim (founded in the 14th century) is sitiated in South-West Bulgaria at 22 km from the ski resort Bansko and is included in Municipality Bansko (Blagoevgrad District). During the Ottoman rule, the local population strongly preserved the Bulgarian patriotic spirit and as a result the village of Obidim was burned down in 1903 and 1912 when it was finally liberated. Nowdays Obidim is tranquil and has preserved its old character, away from the busy and urban life. There are several churches, the biggest being Sv. Nikolay built in 1836.
