Krushuna Eco-path

Krushuna is the place where our classmate Nikolay’s grandparents live. Our team has visited them, and enjoyed both the nature’s beauty and the famous Bulgarian hospitality.
There is an eco-path established near the village of Krushuna, not far away from Lovech. It is called “Maarata”, and has been a national reserve since November 10 1995.
It goes through the Devetashko plateau and passes by a marvelous waterfall whose foamy waters jump over stair beds and spill down.
