About Waterfall Kartala

Kartala Waterfall
In the surroundings of the museum-town of Veliko Tarnovo, in central Bulgaria, Kartala waterfall is a stop for those who want to combine the fortress visit with a dose of nature. It is a lesser-known attraction than the town's major sights, suited to a short walk in the landscape.
What to expect
The waterfall hides in green surroundings, with water tumbling over rock — a refreshing sight especially after rain or in spring, when the flow is fuller. In dry summer spells the water can be modest, so adjust your expectations to the season. The trail offers quiet and fresh air, away from the bustle of the historic centre.
Practical
Access is usually by car from Veliko Tarnovo, followed by a stretch on foot. We recommend comfortable footwear, as the path can be slippery near the water. The best time is spring or after rain. It fits naturally into a day spent in Veliko Tarnovo alongside Tsarevets fortress and the period houses. For exact details on the route and walking time, check local information before setting out. Rating 4.5.
