Babsko Praskalo waterfall - Tazha - video
In the Central Balkans National Park, there are many rivers that cascade down spectacular waterfalls, which the locals call praskalo. One of the smallest waterfalls in the area is Babsko Praskalo, which stands at only 54 meters high. However, the waters of the Babska River continue to flow with additional cascades below the waterfall, creating numerous smaller and larger waterfalls that vary in size and form.
Babsko Praskalo can be accessed from the village of Tazha. You can drive for a while, but then you must continue with an off-road vehicle. Eventually, a barrier closes off the forest road, and from there, it is just a half-hour walk to the waterfall. A further three hours of walking leads to another spectacular waterfall, the 70-meter-high Kademliysko Praskalo, located on one of the tributaries of the Tazha River. Unfortunately, due to a lack of time, we were only able to view the latter from a bird's-eye perspective.

In the Bodoc Mountains, west-southwest from the Henter peak, we find a rock formation shaped like a mushroom by erosion, called Preacher's Rock. This 2-meter high rock probably got its name from the pagan Hungarian priests, who preached here in the past.
