Aleko's waterfalls, Cascading waterfalls in Vitosha Mountain, Bulgaria
The Aleko's waterfalls consist of multiple water cascades flowing at elevations between 1011 and 1160 meters on the Skakavitsa River in Vitosha Mountain.
The waterfalls received their official name in 1910, honoring Aleko Konstantinov, a Bulgarian writer and founder of organized tourism in Bulgaria.
These natural formations serve as a meeting point for Sofia residents who gather during weekends to connect with nature through hiking and photography.
Visitors can reach the waterfalls through a marked trail starting from the Dragalevtsi Monastery parking lot, with the complete journey taking approximately three hours.
The water flow creates multiple small cascades over rocks, allowing hikers to walk directly through some sections of the falls during their ascent.
