Explore the best of Vratsa Karst Nature Park in one day. An early transfer will take you to Zgorigrad village passing by the rock phenomenon Vratsata and further to the beginning of the beautiful and thrilling eco-trail of Borov Kamak waterfall (50m high).

Stop At: Ledenika Cave, Vratsa Bulgaria
After the hike, you will be transferred to the sinister cave Ledenika where mother nature has made a masterpiece of an enchanting underground world.
