Zaselska skaklya

Zaselska skaklya is a waterfall near the village of Zasele in Bulgaria's Sofia region that drops 85 meters in a single vertical plunge. The water falls straight down a rock face, creating a dramatic line through the landscape.

The waterfall is located in an area that writer Ivan Vazov referenced in his works during the 19th century, shaping literary interest in the region. The site became known to hikers and nature lovers through these cultural connections over time.

Local residents maintain hiking paths leading to the waterfall, preserving access to this natural formation for future generations to experience.

You can reach the waterfall by following the Vazova trail that starts from Gara Bov village. The hiking path is marked and moderately challenging, especially when wet from recent rain.

After heavy rain or during spring snowmelt, the waterfall becomes more powerful and the water creates a white spray visible from multiple viewpoints. Witnessing this seasonal change makes the sight particularly striking.
