Two-way bicycle route with the village of Mramor as both the starting and finishing point. Ideal for a one-day bike ride through the Sakar Mountains. The road runs through open terrain before entering a forest. 4.5 km after the start there is a drinking fountain. 3 km after the fountain is Kazankite Waterfall – an unknown but very beautiful small cascading waterfall with two drops. The waterfall takes its name from the Kazankite area, where the rocks are interestingly shaped like cauldrons overflowing into one another. It is located at the foot of the northern slopes of the ridge with the highest peak in the Sakar Mountains – Vishegrad. The stream on which the waterfall is formed is Zdravchevsko Dere, a tributary of Manastirska River.
The route goes and returns along the same road, so you can turn back from any point.
Accents
There is one drinking fountain along the route and numerous streams in the Kazankite area.
It is suitable for physically active people. Comfortable cycling shoes are recommended; bring a backpack with food and water for the day, a helmet and a small first-aid kit.
Generally, for all routes in Southeastern Bulgaria, the rule applies that if there is an electric fence across the trail, there is also a gate left for passage. Look for it and do not forget to close it behind you. Animals in this area are often raised freely outdoors and the electric fence keeps them within the designated grazing area.
