Karlovsko Praskalo, Waterfall in Central Balkan National Park, Bulgaria.

The waterfall drops 30 meters from the southern slope of Zhaltets Peak, creating a vertical cascade at an altitude of 1,450 meters.

The Bulgarian government established Karlovsko Praskalo as a protected natural landmark in 1965 to preserve its ecological characteristics for future generations.

The name Karlovsko Praskalo comes from the nearby town of Karlovo and translates to 'Karlovo Splash', reflecting the local connection to this natural formation.

Visitors can reach the waterfall through a marked trail starting at Vasil Levski Cabin, requiring only a ten-minute walk to the observation point.

During winter months, the falling water freezes into natural ice formations, transforming the entire structure into a different natural monument.
