waterfall. The valley lies at an altitude of 1500-2500 m above sea level. To get to the
waterfall through the gorge, you need to walk about 3 km from the mouth of the river
flowing along the bottom of the gorge. As a result, an amazing picture will open before
your eyes: from a hole with a diameter of 1.5 m at a height of 12-15 m from the ground,
a turbulent stream of water flows down a steep cliff.
