Kom Peak is located in the Western Stara Planina. It is among the highest on the border with Serbia and in the western part of the mountain - 2015 m. The peak offers remarkable views of Berkovitsa and Montana, as well as the nearby mountain sections. The Haidushki waterfalls are in the valley of the Golyama Reka River, where the Tsenkova Bara and Slivashka Bara rivers meet. They are between 2 and 3 m high. An eco-trail "Haidushki waterfalls" has been built, which connects them.
Kom Peak is the beginning of the Bulgarian section of the European tourist route E-3. The route is to Cape Emine - the easternmost point of Stara Planina. Hikes and off-road competitions are organized. Access to Kom Peak is not easy. A few kilometers before him is the hut of the same name. A stone is placed next to it to remind that the Bulgarian writer Ivan Vazov climbed to the top and was inspired to write a poem.
Haidushki waterfalls can be reached by the eponymous eco-trail, about 5 km long, and by bike. They are 9 km away. from the town of Berkovitsa.
