Hiking trip to Rayskoto Rraskalo Waterfall
There is a place in the Central Balkan, which I have long wanted to visit, but I was still not able to.
And this month, my girlfriends and I decided to go to the area and climb to Rayskoto Rraskalo Waterfall - the highest waterfall in Bulgaria - 124,5 м.
To get there we planned to stay in the city of Kalofer in the evening. Early in the morning we start the hiking trip from Panicite Locality to Rai hut, which is a starting point.
Early in the morning we arrived by car in the Panicite Locality, where there are huge meadow and many cars and campers can be parked there.
The trail started with a steep climb on an uneven wooded terrain.
We went out to the open section and in the distance we saw Botev Peak.
Along the way it was full of herbs and wild flowers and there were many cows that grazed around.
So much herb thyme!
The interesting thing was that along the way we saw a building from which coffee, beer and water could be purchased - in such a place it was unusual. It was closed early in the morning but on the return it was open and even there were visitors.
Along the way we met many tourists like us, and it was especially fun when we met people from our hometown.
Gradually, we began to enter a rocky terrain that soon led us to a forest area. We entered the Rogachevata forest, the transition through which it was very nice.
In the cool beech forest, we pass through wooden bridges and drank mountain water form stone fountains.
Here we got out of the forest section and the huge meadow took us to Rai hut.
At noon, there were many people at the hut. Some were resting in the meadow, others were eating outside, and others were looking around.
My friends and I went inside and ordered mushroom soup, which was very tasty.
After a short break, we headed to Rayskoto Praskalo Waterfall.
There was a chapel along the way, which was a place full of peace and quiet.
From a beautiful stone fountain, you can pour yourself clean mountain water.
We continued to the waterfall, and the road became steeper and steeper. There were so many beautiful flowers, and the views became more and more impressive.
The waterfall was very beautiful and impressively huge. It was awe-inspiring to be around it.
It is located on the southern slope of Botev Peak and is formed by the waters of the Praskalska River.

We spent some time there and didn't feel like leaving. But we had a long way to go, so we carefully made our way down.
The descent to Kalofer was faster and again very pleasant, passing through these beautiful paths.
I'm glad I visited this place, it was a truly unforgettable experience.
