Emen Canyon

 canyon / gorge, interesting place, invisible

The Emen Canyon is a scenic location along the Negovanka River (a tributary of the Rositsa River), in the foothills of The Central Balkan Range’s northern slope, 20 km from the city of Veliko Tarnovo. The constantly flowing river has cut through the valley’s soft limestone to create many rapids, waterfalls, pools and recesses beneath cliffs that rise as high as 90 meters. The canyon begins to the south of the Novo Selo Village and is interrupted near the village of Emen where the valley slopes rise sharply. For this reason, the canyon is divided into two parts, the Upper and Lower Boaz. Because of its unique natural attributes and beauty, the region has been declared a protected reserve by Decree № 880 on November 11, 1980.
At the beginning of the trail is the Emen Cave. It is 3,113 meters long and occupies a seventeenth place in the list of the deepest caves in Bulgaria.
Bulgaria’s first ecological route was laid out here, called the Negovanka Route, after the river. Bridges were constructed along the route, as were stairs and other wooden structures to make the excursion easier and more pleasant. Without a doubt, the most enjoyable part of the canyon is the secluded waterfall Momin Skok (Girls’ Leap). The falls are 10 meters high and enclosed on three sides by cliffs, with a wide, quiet pool beneath them.
