Waterfall Samodivsko Spraskalo

If you are looking for a combination of untouched nature, refreshing coolness and a sense of magical harmony, Samodivsko praskalo waterfall is one of the most charming places in the Rhodope Mountains that you should definitely visit. Located in the heart of a protected area “Devinska reka”, this waterfall is not only the highest in the Rhodopes (about 70 meters), but also one of the little-known treasures of the region, which will immerse you in a real fairy tale a few kilometers from SPA Hotel Devin.

What to expect along the way?

The trip to Samodivsko praskalo is part of the experience. An eco-trail leads to the waterfall, starting from the exit of the town of Devin in the direction of Yagodina. It is well-groomed, well marked and passes through shady forest roads, wooden bridges over the river and picturesque meadows. The distance from SPA Hotel Devinto the beginning of the eco-trail is about 5 minutes by car or about 30 minutes on foot through the city itself, which makes it extremely accessible even for families with children .

Hidden corners and sense of place

A self-made sprinkler impresses with its grandeur, but if you dare to look away from the main path, you will find small forest areas where the water forms cool ponds, ideal for a short break and a picnic. In the spring and early summer months, the waterfall is especially lush — its splashes spread like a fine mist, and the surrounding greenery shines under the rays of the sun. Here you can often hear the singing of birds and the rhyme of the water, and the air smells of woody freshness.

Practical advice for your visit

• The best time to visit is from April to June, when the waterfall is at its most waterlogged.
• Shoes with good grip are recommended — the trail is light, but around the waterfall can be slippery.
• Bring water and a snack — there are no restaurants around, and a picnic in nature is a real pleasure.
• Don't forget the camera — the views are inspiring!
• The trail is suitable for families with children and nature lovers without special preparation.
