The Emen Canyon of the Negovanka River is one of the places in Bulgaria about which the description “very beautiful” is definitely not enough.
According to the official website of the village of Emen, the gorge was declared a natural attraction in 1980, while the eco-path built into it was either Bulgaria’s first or one of the firsts, depending on what sources one believes. The path starts out at the Emen Cave and goes along the two sides of the canyon, at about 50 metres from its bottom. The canyon’s walls are about 80 to 90 metres in height. Along the eco-path’s length you’ll see the incredible shapes carved out by the river, as well as the remains of Roman defences. The Emen Cave itself is over three kilometres long and it is part of a cave system with wet and dry galleries.
At the end of the route, you come upon the Momin Skok waterfall. Its size does not make it comparable to Bulgaria’s big waterfalls but it has its own charm. Underneath the waterfall, there is a small lake, or rather a pond, which makes a nice place for a break and, in the summer, a pleasant beach spot.
