Krushuna Natural Park (Maarata) Bulgaria

The Krushuna waterfalls belong to the Maarata river, which springs from the Vodopada cave. The main waterfall descends from a height of about 20 meters and divides into several other smaller waterfalls that fall on a series of round terraces, with water of a fascinating blue.
The landscapes here are exceptional, very suitable for successful photos, and the area is covered with vegetation. There are also some small wooden bridges that cross the area of the waterfalls, from where you have the chance to take better pictures.

There are two tourist routes for those who want to hike here:

- the blue route, described by visitors as steeper, on a path surrounded by small waterfalls and caves (approximate duration 40 minutes)
- the red route, in the shape of a circle, with several waterfalls in the surroundings and a lower difficulty (approximate duration 30 minutes)
Specialized studies have shown that the water in the waterfall area has, in addition to a high temperature, a number of health benefits.

Near the Krushuna Waterfalls there are also some ruins of the Krushuna stone Monastery, built between the 13th and 14th centuries. The remains of monastic cells from those times can be distinguished here.
