The 3km-long Emen Canyon, along the Negovanka River, is unique in Bulgaria. Some 25 hectares of land here exist as a protected reserve for species of butterflies, fish, birds and bats. The reserve also includes the 10m-high Momin Skok Waterfall , most impressive in spring.
Hiking the Negovanka Ecotrail , which runs in a loop in and around the canyon, is Emen's main attraction. The trail is signposted from Emen village. Veliko Târnovo’s Tourist Information Office can provide more details and/or maps.
Emen village and the canyon are 25km west of Veliko Târnovo, and are accessible by the bus from Veliko Târnovo to Pavlikeni, which leaves Târnovo’s Pâtnicheski Prevozi bus station twice daily.
