Bachkovo Waterfall - the beautiful natural landmark near Bachkovo Monastery

Where is Bachkovo Waterfall located

Perhaps there isn't a Bulgarian who hasn't visited at least once in their life Bachkovo Monastery the second largest after the Rila Monastery.

The area around the monastery is full of establishments, and in one of them, there is a small waterfall that most visitors see right next to the road. However, few people reach the large Bachkovski waterfall.

Hike from Bachkovo Monastery to the waterfall

And it's not far - about a 15-20 minute walk from the monastery. If you're in the area, take the time to see the fairytale spectacle of this otherwise bizarre and impressive waterfall.

The route is easy. If you're starting from Sofia, you'll go through Plovdiv, Asenovgrad, and Bachkovo – about 172 km.

Park your car if there are free spots, and continue on foot. The trail begins on the left side of the tourist route to the Marzaganitsa hut.

The waterfall itself is about 10–12 meters high and is formed by a karst rift. It is one of many waterfalls in „Red Wall“ Reserve“ in the Rhodopes, but according to us, it is the most beautiful and fullest.
