Krushuna Waterfalls – An Emerald Jewel in Nature, Just Steps from Veliko Tarnovo
Hello, nature lovers and seekers of new adventures! Today we invite you to discover one of the most beautiful places in Bulgaria – Krushuna Waterfalls. Here, nature captivates you with its grandeur, and the water cascading down the limestone rocks creates something like a natural paradise. The waterfalls, wrapped in greenery, will take you to a world of peace and beauty. This natural wonder is located just about a 90-minute drive from Veliko Tarnovo, making it a perfect destination for day trips.
Krushuna Waterfalls: The Natural Magic of Maarata
Situated in the picturesque area of Maarata, near the village of Krushuna, the Krushuna Waterfalls are the largest travertine cascade in the country. The water springing from the limestone rocks creates an incredible system of waterfalls, thresholds, and small turquoise-colored lakes. The air is filled with freshness and magic, and the impressive play of light and water creates unique natural scenes.
The main waterfall, known as Praskaloto, falls from a height of 20 meters, creating a sparkling water spectacle. Around it are scattered smaller waterfalls and pools that complete the perfection of this natural show. Every turn on the eco-trail reveals new views that will make you feel like you are in a tropical paradise.
The Eco-Trail – A Journey for All Ages
The walk around Krushuna Waterfalls is a pleasant adventure for people of all ages. The easily accessible route leads over wooden bridges and platforms that pass above the waterfalls and waters, which falling, create mossy rocks and lush vegetation. The surrounding nature is perfect for those who love silence and enjoy every moment in the heart of nature.
For Photographers and Lovers of Silence
Krushuna Waterfalls are a true paradise for photography lovers. Each season offers something different to inspire you. Spring and autumn are the times when the waterfalls are at their fullest, and summer brings coolness and shade, ideal for a short break on warm days. For those seeking solitude and peace, we recommend visiting the waterfalls in the morning when the sunlight refracts through the water, creating magical reflections.
