Bovska Skaklq Watefall

Bovska Skaklya (also known as Zasel(s)ka/Vazova Skaklya) is a dramatic, mostly seasonal waterfall in the Iskar Gorge of the western Balkan Mountains (Stara Planina), near the village of Zasele and not far from Gara Bov (Svoge Municipality).

The Skaklya River, a left tributary of the Iskar, plunges over a steep rocky cliff; the main drop is about 85 m, and a geodetic measurement is reported as 87.8 m. The waterfall is formed by several consecutive steps/cascades and looks best in spring and after heavy rain. Vazov’s Eco Trail passes below the falls and offers scenic viewpoints over the gorge and surrounding cliffs.
