We went here after reading the few reviews on here. The cascading waterfall is breathtaking. We went scrambling up and over bridges that don't look sturdy but surprised us all! They're not going anywhere soon! Keep climbing as the views are absolutely worth it. We spent around 2 hours there going up, down and over ladders, following the wall of the canyon. We had a beautiful picnic - there are plenty of places to stop and rest - we chose next to the waterfall before walking and were lucky enough for it to be really quiet. Useful tips: 1. Wear sturdy and good gripping shoes 2. Take a picnic to enjoy 3. Take plenty of water 4. Take swimmers if you fancy a dip 5. Be aware that in places further on in the walk, there is no hand rail so if you are anxious about heights, think about how far you want to go! 6. Rocks can be slippery when wet Whatever you do, go and check out this gem of a place

Historic church withfresco murals from the 14th to 17th centuries
Reviewed By norma4up - Belfast, United Kingdom
It is a hard climb to reach the church particularly in the hot summer months but I would have been disappointed not to have visited. What a surprise awaits you inside the paintings and frescoes are so different to the typical Orthodox style it really is stunning. The views from the citadel are spectacular.

Dating to the 12th century, this strategic fortress is one of two highly fortified hills (Trapezitza being the other) that protected Bulgarian rulers living on the site in the tsar’s palace.

Tsarevets is a medieval stronghold located on a hill with the same name in Veliko Tarnovo. If you are going there on the summer..bring a hat its quite hot when its sunny. The Sound and Light audiovisual show is an attraction carried out in the evening that uses three lasers, variegated lights, dramatic music and church bells to tell the story of the fall of Tarnovo to the Ottomans, as well as other key moments of the history of Bulgaria. It was free on every Saturday of the week and it was a great experience.

We visited the Church of the Nativity on a Viking River Cruise excursion. The local church guide gave an excellent overview of each part of the church and meaning of all the frescos. No pictures are allowed inside.

Reviewed By Simina31 - Bucharest, Romania
The Monument is like the typical communist Monument, simply wanting to display grandeur. But you get perfect views over the city! I bet in the summertime it is even better as you could sit on some steps, having like a quick picnic. Must see place in Veliko.

Reviewed By Fee2travel - Bulgaria, null
This delightful church is a short drive from the old Bulgarian capital of Veliko Tărnovo. There are no information boards, but there’s plenty of details given on these reviews about its interesting history. The views are amazing across the valley and the climb up into the bell tower is well worth it.
10. Emen Waterfall and Canyon

Reviewed By 40irvingp - Tarxien, Malta
Although the Canyon is not maintained well but there's a lot of things to see . First you need to do the research well to find the road to the Canyon but once you find it its a very nice walk . It's a lovely place and peaceful place near the waterfall (I suggest to go early in the morning to avoid more tourist ) . The views from the top of the Canyon is amazing . I recommended this place especially for those that love nature
