The Buynovsko Gorge
The gorge is located on both sides of the Buynovska River, a tributary of the Vacha River. Soon after the deviation at the village of Teshel, the rocks narrow over the river, forming an impressive gorge.
The turbulent mountain waters have cut their way through the limestone rocks creating a natural site of unique beauty in the Rhodopes. The sheer cliffs come so close together that it seems easy to jump from one to another. The spot where rocks almost meet has been called by local people “the Wolf’s Jump” because of the fact that at that place hungry wolves hop over to reach the sheep pens.
The gorge was declared landmark in 1971.
One of the most beautiful caves in Bulgaria – Yagodinska Cave is a part of the Buynovsko gorge.
Another interesting and beautiful formation is the Devil’s bridge, situated 200m down. It is a rock bridge 8-10 m in length , 2-3m in width and 30m in height. А legend that only the devil can pass through it give the name.
The waterfall Praskaloto is close to it.
