The Nameless Town and the Hidden Waterfall form a dual attraction in the Dobrinishte area. We recommend it if you have limited time or if you appreciate both historical findings and natural wonders.

The Nameless Town is one of the newest local attractions. This fortress town was discovered quite by accident during the restoration of the nearby Basilica St. Nicholas.
After exploring the ruins of the ancient Thracian settlement, you'll notice a small path leading to the waterfall on one side. It is located along the river's course. You'll navigate by the sound of flowing water, and once you find it, you'll be captivated by the panoramic view it offers.
