Route
1. Stara Planina waterfalls (Tupavica, Bigar, etc.)
The main reason to come — several waterfalls within short drives or walks. Plan 2–3 hours total for photos and short walks; some require a few minutes on foot from parking.
2. Topli Do
Authentic mountain village — coffee break, local cheese and honey, traditional houses. A good mid-route stop before continuing toward higher viewpoints.
3. Dojkinci
One of the best-known villages on Stara Planina — architecture, hospitality, starting point for hikes. Allow time for a walk through the village and views of surrounding peaks.
