Amazing walk, one of the best I've done. It's plesent all the way there and back, the few main waterfalls are breathtaking. It's a proper hike, the path is well maintained.

Very nice trail, perfect for hot summer days. The path is well marked, the bridges were newly repaired or replaced. There is a 5 lev fee/adult and you can buy homemade lemonade and some grilled meat from the people maintaining the trails. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon.

An amazing place to visit. The approach road is very rough, ok if you have a 4x4! You can get a lift up with people that have jeeps and charge a nominal amount. The walk itself is lovely, up through the woods with numerous waterfalls. It is a bit challenging in places, but it can be done carefully. The trail is being worked on constantly and the 3 LV entrance fee helps with maintenance.
It took us 2.5 hrs and we are a pair of average 58 yr olds!!!!

By far the most beautiful trail in the Devin, Yagodina, Smolyan regions. Well maintained with clear signs, several viewing points offering panorama views. Nature is somewhat different from the other trails in the region and at points reminded me of forests in the Scandinavia.

Nature at its best. Bulgaria will make you fall in love with her over and over again. And this trail is the best proof. It is about 1h30min in one way with no rest stops but stops for pictures. We managed to get off the trail and under some bridges for better shots. On the top there is a nice panoramic view which is totally with the time and effort you put in.

Beautiful, breathtaking - both literally and metaphorical- amazing nature and energy, but climbing up is also lidt challenging. You and your children can do it, just give you at least five hours for the tur- to enjoy the view, shoot pictures and rest from time to time

The place is spectacular and the hike is very rewarding. The round takes ~ 4 hours and is at times tricky, so make sure you have good hiking shoes. Have some food and plenty of water, there are some nice rest stops where you can have a snack.

There’s a 2lv fee at the info center.

Super cool! On the first part of the trail there are waterfalls, 5 or 6 of them, small and bigger. And the second part has observation points with marvelous views on the Orpheus waterfall, Smolyan and mountains. The guys in Information center are helpful and tell about the route. It took me about 4 hours to walk the trail with time for selfies and enjoying the views. I'd say the trail is easy, predominantly in the woods, so it's not hot, and there is a small section with steps near the biggest waterfall that requires some effort, but quite manageable.

Amazing trail. Four hours round trip with two children. Due to location it isn't accessible for mobility scooters or such. Didn't see any broken bridges as some of the reviews have mentioned previously. Came upon two huts for a break with picnic tables located outside and designated place for campfire. We came in mid July (guessing spring might be better)

It's definitely a trail to take. Leave the car down before entering the broken road. It will take around 30 minutes to reach the starting point. There you need to pay a 2lv fee per adult and you will get explanations. The trail takes fully around 3 hours. The first half is very well maintained and there are around 350-400m difference in altitude.

Incredible place, absolutely beautiful! The whole trek is about 4 hours/9km (and that includes all the pauses to take photos of the waterfalls and the panorama) so be prepared for a full day hike!

Very pleasant walk in the forest, beautiful views, be sure to visit it if you are nearby and love mountain walking. Wear comfortable shoes.

Amazing eco-path! I loved it from the beginning, the way was marked so good and we had no trouble getting to the final destination and it’s soo beautiful the whole way!🥰

Definitely a MUST visit if you are in the Smolyan region. For the best experience - take your mountain clothes and walk the full path. It is more than worth it!

You will love the trail and the waterfalls for sure, what I loved the most however is the information centre at the beginning where we came across those awesome motivated young people that would actually inform you what you will see while on the trail (we are not used to this in Sofia) and which route you can take on the way back.

The trail itself is very pretty, not very challenging on the way up, on the way back you can choose if you want to go back at one of the points or make the complete loop. The complete loop will take you to 2 panoramic views that are nice, but this route is also steeper, there are no other waterfalls. You can reach the fist panoramic view instead and just go back. Taking the loop will take you back faster however.

6km of hiking, many rest spots, breathtaking waterfalls and panoram views of the Rodopi mountain and Smolyan. Well marked, circular, steep path. Best visit in the spring.

Amazing path and views. Not the easiest though so mountain shoes will be very helpful.

Lovely eco trail through the near forest with a chain of waterfalls and a few natural observation decks. It's a begginner to mid level for climbing

3-4 hours hike with very nice panoramic views and waterfalls. Don't take the jeeps, they only save about 20 min of walking.
