If you are traveling by car, start from the center of Malyovitsa. Head southeast on the main road that leads into the mountain region. Continue driving for about 5 kilometers until you reach the marked parking area for Янчов водопад. Park your vehicle here. The waterfall is located about 1.5 kilometers from the parking area along a well-marked hiking trail.

You may need to ask locals for guidance to the trailhead, as it is a popular hiking destination and they will likely be familiar with it. The walk to the waterfall from the village will take approximately 30-40 minutes along a scenic trail.
Hiking
Once you arrive at the parking area or the trailhead in Malyovitsa, the trail to Янчов водопад is well-marked. Follow the signs and stay on the designated path, which is a moderate hike suitable for most visitors.
