s. Skrat - vodopad Mangaro

Immerse yourself in the magic of nature by visiting Mangaro Waterfall, nestled near the picturesque village of Skrat, Blagoevgrad region. This easy and refreshing “trail” is perfect for anyone seeking an escape from urban hustle and a touch of the wild beauty of Belasitsa Mountain. The route begins from the center of Skrat village, known for its authentic atmosphere and hospitality. Well-marked signs will guide you along the path, which is relatively flat and well-maintained, making it suitable for families with children, even younger ones, as well as people of all ages and varying physical fitness levels. Follow the babbling stream that will lead you through a dense deciduous forest, filled with bird songs, subtle sounds of wildlife, and the scent of fresh greenery. Approximately 30-40 minutes of pleasant walking along the shaded lane will bring you to the culmination of this adventure – the majestic Mangaro Waterfall. The waterfall is impressive with its approximately 8 meters in height, its waters cascading down the rocky terrain, forming a small, crystal-clear, turquoise pool at its base. The name “Mangaro” adds a touch of mystery and charm, carrying legends of ancient times that you can imagine while enjoying the view. It is especially beautiful in spring, when abundant snowmelt makes the waterfall full and noisy, or in autumn, when the surrounding forest ignites in golden and red hues, transforming the landscape into a true work of art. The place offers coolness during the hot summer months and is a wonderful backdrop for unforgettable photos. Don't miss enjoying the tranquility, fresh air, and invigorating energy of this hidden treasure of Belasitsa, which will fill you with lasting memories and a desire to return again.
