Chuypetlovo (Bulgarian: Чуйпетлово / ‘Hear the cock’) is a village in the Pernik Municipality of Pernik Province, western Bulgaria. Population 57 as of January 1, 2007.
Chuypetlovo is the only settlement in the interior of Vitosha Mountain, situated at elevation 1,225 m near the head of Struma River valley. Tourist tracks link the village to Suhoto Ezero (‘Dry Lake’) site and Cherni Vrah to the north, Kupena (‘Stack’) Peak (2195 m) to the east, Yarlovo Village to the southeast, Matnitsa River valley and Kladnitsa Village to the northwest, and the pulsating spring of Zhivata Voda (‘Live Water’) to the west. The village is linked by bus service to Bosnek Village and the city of Pernik.
Chuypetlovo was established around 1640, and its church of St. Petka was built in 1860. The legend holds it that the name of the village derived from its secluded location, with strangers only founding the settlement as they heard cock’s crow.
