Following our unforgettable first step into Bulgaria’s great outdoors with the Kamena Waterfall hike, our exploration of the country’s wilderness was far from over. The Belasitsa Mountains still had more secrets to reveal, and just a short drive from Kamena lay another gem waiting to be discovered.
We set our sights on the peaceful village of Yavornitsa, a place where traditional Bulgarian rural life blends seamlessly with the pristine beauty of the surrounding nature. Here, the forested slopes hide yet another cascade — the Yavornitsa Waterfall, also known as the Yavornishki Waterfall.

While smaller in scale than Kamena, this 7-meter-high waterfall has a charm all its own. The hike leading to it is part of the beautifully themed “Butterflies and Flowers of Belasitsa” trail, inviting visitors to slow down, observe, and truly connect with the natural rhythms of the mountain. And so, with boots laced and curiosity high, we continued our journey into the heart of Belasitsa’s hidden wonders.
