Smolare Falls, Waterfall in Belasica, North Macedonia
The Lomnica River plunges from a height of 39.5 meters over black rocks, creating North Macedonia's highest waterfall at an elevation of 630 meters.
The waterfall's presence in Mount Belasica has influenced settlement patterns in the Novo Selo region throughout centuries of local development and migration.
The water flow patterns of Smolare Falls connect to regional folklore, with residents of nearby villages incorporating the natural formation into traditional celebrations.
Visitors reach the waterfall through a maintained path featuring 300 stone steps and a wooden observation bridge positioned directly in front of the cascade.
The constant water flow over dark stone surfaces creates distinct patterns throughout different seasons, while century-old beech trees frame the natural formation.
