“The day we went we drove through thick fog and arrived in a downpour. Alex offered to drive us to the lake and waterfalls rather than hike in the rain. We were dead set on hiking so we hiked. The hike is moderately challenging and through a beautiful forest along the gorge. The color of the lake, even in the rain, was beautiful. We then hiked to the waterfall which was truly beautiful.

Hike to Love Swing, explore Tsarevets Fortress and Veliko Tarnovo, then stop at the Danube Friendship Bridge from Bucharest.
“Beware it is a long day! But it is well worth it. Lots of riding in the car but I enjoyed looking at the country side. You will do a bit of hiking but there will be beautiful views.

And our tour guide ( Andrei) was great.”
