Waterfalls Canyon

Reviewed By Phred01 - Burgas, Bulgaria

You can park in the road before the turning, or pay 4 leva for the privilege of having someone look after your car for the day OR drive up a bit further the awful road and park there. Then the walk starts...which goes past a few hungry jeep drivers who will offer to take you (for 5 leva we heard) to the ACTUAL beginning of the walk under the canopy of trees. Admittedly the first bit is a bit of a slog, but you could treat it as a warm up. With regular opportunities to stop and take a break with your picnic (take your rubbish home of course) it's a delightful morning's walking. There are steep parts but overall it's relatively straight forward. Recommended! Oh, and it took us 3.5 hours but we weren't in a hurry and had a very long stop at the top.

Samodivskoto Pruskalo (Fairy Waterfall)

Reviewed By 1nafets - Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria

A car along the Devinska River leads to an unpaid parking lot and then a tourist route through the forest and along the river. to the right of the main line there is an ascent about 500 meters along the eco path and you are at the waterfall. Naturally, the spring water is more and it is good to visit during the months of April and May.

Reviewed By A3615NT_ - Rheine, Germany

We`ve visit The Wonderful Bridges on our way to Smolyan.The road to the bridges isn`t too wide so I do advice to be careful while driving. However we visit the Wonderful bridges,had lunch at the restaurant near by and we descend down under via Zip line. Definitely should visit.
