Further down the site there is a map to guide you to the location of the waterfall. By stopping by the main road Asenovgrad – Kardzhali (between Dolnoslav and Topolovo), you will pass first by the Sushitsa Dam, and then you have to reachthe ranch "Wild City". From there, we talk with the owners and they told us where exactly to catch the eco path for the waterfall –under the guest houses on the left. The trail is easily passable and very beautiful. There are signboards and yellow-white markings on the trees we were following. From the ranch to the waterfall we walked about 40-50 minutes. You can also prepare for a picnic as there are many suitable places to stop and eat. Before the waterfall itself there is a steep path with carved steps.Slowly and carefully, we had no problem with the children on it. The view of the waterfall was astonishing. Very nice, beautiful and cool place, especially during the summer months.

On the way back we decided to pass the other route, which runs along the river towards the Sushitsa Dam. If there is not much water is suitable for passing, but keep in mind that the river must be crossed a few times, jumping on the stones, and if you are among the more tripped in the legs there is a chance to get cool. This route was also very beautiful and it was definitely worth it to pass by.
