Photos from our hike to two big waterfalls in Rila - Rilska Skakavitza, the highest waterfall in Rila, and Small Rilska Skakavitza, a waterfall on one of the tributaries of the Skakavitza river.
The big Rilska Skakavitza is quite popular and well visited, this was our fourth hike to the waterfall and it would have been quite a garden variety hike, as gorgeous as it was, if we hadn't decided to visit the second, little known and even less accessible waterfall. The moment we stepped outside of the well marked and treaded trails, we were deep into the wild forest - not a tourist in sight, only the GPS to guide us, steep stony hills, vertical cliffs - it was imposing and exciting, definitely the cherry of the hike.
As the summer is at its end, the waterfalls were only at a small percentage of their capacity, yet beautiful enough to justify the efforts. Definitely a hike to remember!
I like the views here.
