Sitovo Waterfall, Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria
The Sitovo Waterfall is extremely picturesque due to the specificity of the individual rapids of the river. The waterfall is located in the Rhodope Mountains, 30 km from Plovdiv, right at the fork between the beautiful Rhodope villages of Sitovo and Lilkovo. It can be reached by a dirt but relatively flat road. The left […]
The Raw Power of Dentfoss, Iceland
Dettifoss Waterfall is not merely a natural feature; it is a primal scream carved into Iceland’s volcanic bedrock.

Sure, the weather at that time can be rainy and cold, but the water flows strongly. Our […]
