The waterfall is located in one of the most picturesque areas of Mount Vratsa, in centuries-old green forests and among inaccessible rocks. The name of Vrachanska Skaklya is surrounded by a legendary aura. The locals tell a very beautiful story: at the end of the Ottoman rule, during a tiring crossing, the Ottoman army passed the Balkan Mountains at night under the waterfall. In the morning, when the sun’s rays ignited the foamy and shimmering waters that descend on the vertical rocks, astonished by this remarkable beauty, the army leader exclaimed: “Mashala, Skaklya!” The playful water reminded him of one of the women in his harem, who was from the Balkans and her name was Skaklya.
