About this experience
In modern Bulgaria there are several enthusiasts who have rescued these breeds and some of them are ready to introduce you to these wonderful rare animals and to tell you what care should be taken for them in a specially created Center of rare breeds, the Association and the farm. Since the beginning of the 1990s, the association has begun to work to save the authentic Karakachan dog and the other two breeds of Karakachans - the sheep and the horse which were completely destroyed during socialism. There is the main herd of original Karakachan sheep, thanks to whose creation the breed was saved from extinction. A herd of the Kalofer long-haired goat was also set up to preserve some of its most typical representatives. The fun photosession with the best representatives of the breeds is also awaiting you with the unique degustation of the bio food products, produced by traditional authentic technology.

Detailed itinerary
1
An experience of a lifetime with unique off-the-beaten-path tours
2
The rocky area and green land make the waterfall very charming. Its height is about 20-25m and the water falls vertically and crashes on a small scale, forming a shallow pond.
The waterfall is easily accessible from Vlahi (about 15 minutes from the village), but getting to Vlahi might be difficult because the path is dirt and no asphalt is laid.
Seeing the waterfalls from below is a memorable experience. To reach the foot, however, you will have to go down the very steep and rocky slope very carefully. It is a slightly extreme adventure, but definitely worth it.
