Teteven Skoka Waterfall
Tourist attraction
ππ This is a good place for short hiking. You should try in spring or early summer, right after the rain period is over. Everything will be green and there is going to be enough water so you could see the waterfall. There is a parking area but there is a small chance to find a free parking spot there....

ππ Second visit. The first one was a love from first sight. Great food, nice prices, good service (if they do not mistake your order). Highly recommended. The only thing i've found annoying is the bulgarian old school pop music flooding the air.

Kaleytsa Skoka Waterfall
Nature preserve
ππ This magnificent waterfall is located just 5mins away from where you park the car and itβs 300 meters easy trail walk. There are 2 waterfalls and the big one is 8 meters tall and 4 meter water depth. Amazing sight and when I visited there were no other people. Itβs best to visit early summer.

Skoka waterfall (beginning of an eco trail)
Scenic spot
ππ Just 1 hour by foot from Teteven, the waterfall is worth the walk. The last 400-500 metres are beautiful views and nice waterfalls (not just Skoka). Before that youβre walking on a road which is very green, but not in the forest itself. It was a nice place for 2-3 hours non-intense walk.
