Bigar Waterfall - the most important information
Bigar Waterfall is located at about 450 meters above sea level, next to the road to Pirot. This magical waterfall is only 5 km away from the village of Kalna. The water at the waterfall overflows over a light perforated stone (bigra), which is over 35 meters high and after which this waterfall got its name. Upstream of the waterfall, you will be able to notice several smaller waterfalls and bigren tubs in the riverbed, as well as 3 smaller lakes with clear water. Stay with us and learn more about the Bigar waterfall and the ways you can reach it below.
