Zarapov Waterfall

Only about 35 km from Veliko Tarnovo lies one of the most charming natural wonders of the region — Zarapovsky waterfall. This little-known pearl, located near the village of Visovgrad, offers a unique combination of silence, greenery and natural beauty that will charge you with energy and inspiration.

What to expect from the visit?

The Zarapov waterfall impresses with its 15 meters height and a picturesque cascade that falls among green mosses and limestone rocks. In spring and early summer, the water is most plentiful, and the surrounding area smells of fresh forest grasses. All around you there is a song of birds and a rhombus on the water — the feeling of calm is truly magical.

Hidden corners and inspirations

One of the hidden beauties of the place are the small natural pools under the waterfall itself, where daredevils can cool off on hot days. To the right of the falls is a narrow path that leads to a higher playground — an ideal spot for photos or a picnic overlooking the waterfall. Legends tell that revolutionaries were hiding in nearby caves, and natural formations still awaken the imagination today.
