Hotnitsa Waterfall
Хотнишки водопад
A waterfall with a drop of about 30 meters above an emerald pool, also called Kayabashi, and a popular summer retreat near Veliko Tarnovo.
The waterfall lies inside a protected area near the village of Hotnitsa. Water falls from the limestone cliff top into a jade-colored pool, and there are wooden 'eco-trails' and viewing platforms around it. In summer you can wade in the shallow pools downstream. It is about 15 minutes' walk from the parking lot, and admission is free. It is about 15 km from Veliko Tarnovo, roughly 20 minutes by car, and is often combined with Emen Canyon. The water flow is lower in late summer.
