Raysko Praskalo, Waterfall in Central Balkan National Park, Bulgaria
Raysko Praskalo drops from a height of 124.5 meters, forming a vertical cascade beneath the summit of Botev Peak in the Balkan Mountains.
The waterfall's name originates from Bulgarian words meaning 'Heavenly Sprinkler', reflecting the long-standing connection between natural features and local language traditions.
Local residents of Kalofer maintain hiking traditions by organizing guided tours to the waterfall, sharing knowledge about regional plants and wildlife.
Visitors can reach the waterfall through a marked trail starting from Kalofer town, with an overnight stay at Rai Hut recommended for the complete experience.
The water flow intensifies during summer months when snow from Botev Peak melts, creating the Praskalska River that joins the Byala Reka watershed.
