Pehchevski Waterfalls
Pehchevski Waterfalls are located about 10 km southeast of Pehchevo, in the upper, spring part of the Bregalnica River. The river passes deeply through Mount Vlaina in the north and Maleshevo Mountains in the south, so that in some places it has a canyonlike appearance.In this place, 5 larger waterfalls and numerous cascades of Bregalnica and its tributaries were created, where pure and cold water joyfully conveyed the word about the beauties of Maleshevo.The waterfalls are reached by the local asphalt road from Pehchevo to the tourist settlement of RavnaReka. Following the valley, the first is the Spikovski Waterfall on the Spikovska River, the right tributary of the Bregalnica. The 8 m high waterfall leads to a well-maintained 500 m long hiking trail, with mounted gazebos and rest benches. Then follows the Crndolski waterfall on the tributary of the same name of Bregalnica, about 5 m high. The marked hiking trail that leads to this waterfall is about 400 m long, with many gazebos and resting places for visitors and is quite suitable for hiking.
