Shumen residents welcomed Enyovden on the plateau. The tradition of the holiday was observed by the Directorate of the Shumen Plateau Nature Park. Herbs and flowers were prepared, from which an Enyov wreath was woven. Everyone took a bracelet for health. People welcomed the sunrise at exactly 5.32 in the morning and danced the Enyov barefoot dance under the woven wreath. The Directorate of the park provided prizes and cakes with honey.
