Brambar Skok is a small waterfall on the Popishka river in Troyan, about 700 m north of the railway station. It is about 3 m high and has been a natural landmark since 1965. It is not near Lovech but at the edge of Troyan itself.
The path starts at the Kapincho level crossing, close to the town centre. It follows an asphalt road south to an iron bridge, then turns north-east through broadleaf forest to a mineral spring and the river. From there it runs along the river on an old track until the waterfall comes into view. The route is waymarked on the trees and takes about 1 hour 20 minutes at a normal pace. Parking is fairly close.
Troyan Monastery is about 10 km south of town, so the walk to the waterfall fits easily into a day in Troyan.
