Boyana Waterfall

There are a couple of marked routes to the waterfall, but the most popular one starts from the Boyana suburb of Sofia. The route is about 6 km long with 600 m elevation – the Boyana waterfall is about 1300 m above sea level. It will take you about 2 hours uphill and about an hour down (following the same route).

Boyana Church is renowned for its stunning medieval frescoes and historical significance, appealing particularly to art and history enthusiasts. Some travelers find the entrance fee and brief visit—typically 10-20 minutes—limit its value, especially when compared to alternatives like Rila Monastery.

Raysko Praskalo (Bulgarian: Райско пръскало , "Heavenly Sprinkler"), 124.5 m in height, is the highest permanent waterfall in Bulgaria and probably in the Balkan Peninsula.
