Note:
It is located on the left tributary of the Beliya Uley River. The waterfall was spotted by Kiril Nedelchev on a satellite image in 2024 - see Map, and in the spring of 2026 we have the first photo and video material in our database. A thorough check is needed to establish whether the water jet meets the criteria for a cascading waterfall. The waterfall is certainly the new highest in Rila mountain, but there is a very high probability that it will turn out to be the highest Bulgarian waterfall!
