After spending some wonderful days exploring the dramatic alpine landscapes of Pirin Mountain, we moved further north to discover another jewel of Bulgaria’s highlands – Rila Mountain. Our first stop was the famous Goritsa Waterfall, also known as Ovcharchenski Vodopad, a 39-meter cascade hidden in the lush northern foothills of Rila, near the village of Ovchartsi.
This eco-trail offers not only a refreshing walk through shady pine forests but also a glimpse into local traditions, history, and legends that give this waterfall its unique character.
