Abkhazia, Gudauta district . The waterfall "Maiden's Tears" is located on the highway on the way to Lake Ritsa, on the pipe side of the highway is the river Bzyb. The waterfall is located right along the road, it is a kind of "bonus" for those who go to admire the beauty of the national reserve. Even without knowing about the existence of this local landmark, you will not be able to accidentally drive past. The surface of the rock is decorated with bright multicolored ribbons that attract attention from afar. The poetic name accurately reflects the essence of the natural phenomenon: the rock seems to cry silently, the water flows quietly over the stones overgrown with boxwood, moss and ivy. Popular rumor attributes miraculous properties to the waterfall "Maiden's Tears".
Allegedly, the flowing water has healing power and is able to cure many diseases. There is also a popular myth that if an unmarried girl picks up falling drops in her palm and washes, then the wedding will be soon. And the main belief is the fulfillment of wishes. To make a dream come true, you need to make a symbolic offering to the mountain spirit: tie a piece of cloth to the stems of plants. The sheer cliff is full of bright ribbons, which are sold here by local residents. Brisk trade is conducted opposite the road.
You can visit it when you go to Lake Ritsa, but you have to be careful, since you are on a busy road.
You won't be able to drive past, the photos are good. The main thing is to put a point that you were here and hang a ribbon.
Everything is beautiful. A wonderful story about the formation of this key. BUT!!! It's not safe to be there. You're standing on the road all the time.... Cars are running around... That one will be shot down....
A narrow road into the gorge, minibuses and UAZ trucks are parked in 2 rows on it, you can't breathe from the exhaust, a lot of people. Nearby, water flows down the wall and thousands of shabby ribbons are wound up, which are sold right there on the road.
Beauty. Clean water from the spring. There is no parking, it cannot be done there, but everyone is standing on the side of the road, even though it is narrow there
The waterfall is on the way to Lake Ritsa, my wife and I visited here on December 11, 2021, there is no stop nearby, we need to drive forward, there will be a place to park and then return to the waterfall via the bridge.
These women's tears do not cause pity)) since they are pouring with joy that they have men)))
By the way, there is also a spring with crystal clear water here, my wife and I took a bottle)
We are studying the history of human settlements in the world!
A very unusual and amazing place. The water is unforgettable tasty and clean. The legend of this place is fascinating. A great place to visit on vacation.
The waterfall "Maiden's Tears" in Abkhazia is part of the tourist route to Lake Ritsa. A beautiful and romantic place is associated with the legend of tragic love. ... The waterfall "Maiden's Tears" is located near the bank of the Bzyb River about 2 km from the Ricin highway on the way from Gagra to Lake Ritsa.
To be right on the road on the way to Lake Ritsa, you will not miss. There is nothing interesting, there are a lot of people, it is not realistic to take pictures, there are a lot of people and cars, there is no parking space, everyone gets on the road.
A great place, here you can tie ribbons and make a wish according to ancient beliefs. Take pictures and get a lot of positive emotions for yourself and your family!
A traffic cop is sitting in a car with Russian license plates and removes all violators on the phone. Further, on the way to the Ritz, his uniformed partners will stop you, take away your license and certificate and then solve the problem of a very competent divorce of Russians on the topic of attractions
A very unusual waterfall, though it looks like tears are dripping, I have not seen this anywhere else

A very beautiful place, the students are not asleep! It's solid there, so don't park on the oncoming side of the road and if there's no place on your own, it's better to stop on the way back.
Beautiful!!! Spectacular! Make a wish and tie a ribbon is a necessary procedure for staying) mountain ice water is refreshing in hot weather

The beauty is extraordinary, the ribbons were hung bright and looks unusual)
It's inconvenient to stop by car just for photos
You can drink water straight from the streams
The water .... there are no words how delicious ... or the tears are delicious ) in general, I advise you to stop by and drink ... well, the views there are of course awesome!
I don't understand why they go there at all. There are many such waterfalls in Abkhazia. And there is much more beautiful!!! It's just that these are tourist routes... Lots of tourists... The crowd, everyone is running somewhere... In short, there's nothing to do there!
