Eco Trail Struilitsa

If you dream of a place where the greatness of nature and tranquility go hand in hand, an eco-trail Struilitsanear Devin is your next route. It winds through the heart of the Rhodopes and reveals some of the most picturesque corners of Bulgaria, ideal for a walk, a deep breath and a real enjoyment of life.

What to expect on the route

The trail starts very close to the town of Devin and follows the course of the Devinska River. You will cross moss-covered bridges, past clear eddies and small waterfalls, and the culmination is the majestic waterfall Samodivskoe Spraskalo— the highest in the Rhodope Mountains, with over 70 meters of falling water, which creates a magical fog around it. Panoramic views of green hills and fresh air create a feeling of freedom, impossible to describe in words.

Hidden treasures and a sense of place

One of the little-known treasures along the trail is the secluded gazebos by the river — ideal for a short break and a picnic in nature. If you are a seeker of authentic moments, stop for a moment and be heard in the song of the birds. In the early hours of the day, the route is almost deserted, and the morning fog gives the place a fabulous charm.
