Immersed in nature, this small waterfall with its natural pool is something magnificent... it's just a shame I wasn't able to swim... tranquility and peace... a perfect place of prayer and meditation. Really worth the visit

The Saharna Waterfall is located behind the monastery complex in the Saharna Reserve. To get to it, you need to go through the monastery complex and follow the path along the river. The waterfall falls from a height of 4 m, and in its place a pool up to 10 m deep has formed.
