“Kaya Bunar” Waterfall
About 15 km from the town of Veliko Tarnovo and 2 km from the village of Hotnitsa you can find the incredible natural phenomenon Kaya Bunar waterfall or also known as Hotnitsa waterfall, and to the left of it is a kilometer and a half long Hotnishka eco-trail. The place is suitable for picnics and games in nature.
Kaya Bunar is one of the most remarkable natural tourist sites in the area, which impresses with over 20 meters in height. Its waters, coming from the river Bohot, descend at a slight slope and despite its not so big, nature has created an illusion a very loud roar due to the refraction of the sound of falling water in the rocks.
Since 1971 the waterfall has been declared a protected area.
The Hotnitsa eco-trail, leading to the waterfall itself, impresses with its picturesque and breathtaking landscapes, it is not very easy to cross, especially for children and adults, but the result is definitely worth the effort. It is made of transversely arranged wooden slats, which would be difficult for two people to cross each other. Going through it requires a lot of attention and caution. Part of the whole charm of the experience is the road to Kaya Bunar itself through the narrow and winding eco-trail.
The Hotnitsa waterfall amazes with the beauty and charm of its natural resources. Not only it but the whole environment is a delight for the eye and senses. You would never have guessed that such a paradise could be so close to a bustling and vibrant city as Veliko tarnovo
Although the altitude of the area allows visits by tourists at any time of year, we recommend that you choose the warmer months as everything around will be green and blooming and you will feel the coolness in the summer heat. This way you will be able to enjoy the overall beauty of the surrounding nature.
There is a convenient car park near Kaya Bunar and the Hotnitsa Eco Trail is not so long to go. Perfect for a quick stop on the way to Romania or Greece. Then we recommend comfortable shoes and water supplies for a memorable and inspiring walk.
