Kaluđerski Skokovi, 232-meter cascade in Stara Planina Nature Park, Serbia
Kaluđerski Skokovi is a waterfall in a steeply descending mountain area that plunges down a valley in multiple sections. The different stages follow a dramatic mountain path that winds through dense vegetation and rock formations.
Scientific study of this waterfall began in the 2010s by rescue specialists and geologists, documenting its extent for the first time. These investigations revealed its importance as one of the most significant natural formations in the region.
The name comes from monks who inhabited this area during medieval times and left their mark on the landscape. Today this location represents the discovery of hidden natural treasures within the Stara Planina.
Access requires mountaineering experience and specialized equipment, as the route involves steep rock faces and climbing skills are necessary. The best time to visit is spring, when vegetation has not yet become too dense and paths remain visible.
A complete view from ground level is impossible because the surrounding terrain blocks sight lines, and only from the air can its true scale be grasped. This hidden character makes it one of the least accessible natural wonders in the region.
