It's just a fantastic place, words can't describe it - you need to see it! 120 years ago, it was a cave and after an earthquake, the ceiling collapsed, revealing a waterfall falling on a 15m stalagmite, which is still growing.
We got there by car, the road has not been repaired since the Soviet era: non-access pits / potholes alternate with sections of a normal road 100-200 m. We drove to Tsabala and left the car near the Russian military base, as the road became very bad further on, there is a risk of puncturing the crankcase. We walked 7 km from Tsabal to the turn 43.035502, 41.323776 (red sign), through the village, a clearing with ditches, and then went down to the trail to the waterfall. This is the way to view the waterfall from below.
We were with a 7-year-old child, the walk was long but simple, there were few cars on the road. On the way to the waterfall, keep to the lower path on the map (do not climb the stairs in the middle) and look at the red arrows. In the last section, before descending into the canyon, there is a shelf 60 cm wide and a 40-meter drop to the Bridal Veil waterfall, 50 meters long - very (!!!) a dangerous place without railings/ ropes, a fall is certain death. It is necessary to go with tracking sticks.
There are wet rocks and a shallow river at the bottom of the canyon, and sticks will help you overcome them. It will be dangerous for those who are not experienced in mountain hiking in such conditions, there is a risk of twisting / breaking their leg or, God forbid, falling off the shelf.

The canyon itself is impressive, of course. But a lot depends on the time of year and the amount of running water. We were there in July 24. There is very little water. Keep in mind that the descent into the gorge in the heat is not for people with heart disease! An earthen path of 250 meters at an angle of 45gr. Now about the road: it's terrible! And the closer to the finish line in the village of Amtkel, the worse it gets! On puzoterki with a short base - definitely not to meddle! In the village, a peasant offered tangerine juice, honey, and cheese. We took the juice (it's fine) and nuts in honey (the price is normal).

A majestic place. It's a long drive past the Olginsky waterfalls. We drove sedans, did not get two kilometers, the road became completely bad, left the cars on the road and walked. 43.027278, 41.268794 In this place you can rent a UAZ, it will be cheaper than taking it from the sea, there is also the last grocery store.
The most interesting thing is further there are two places from where you can go 43.028482, 41.328741, the other is a little further. There is a small cafe in this place, barbecue is fried.
The place of the waterfalls itself is located at the bottom. It is very difficult to descend, and it is even more difficult to climb - sneakers are required.
In the summer, the riverbed dries up and there is a small shower from a height, but even along the riverbed it is very interesting to walk. Then there is a deep river. There are three caves that are not equipped for tourists, they are flooded, you can walk 200-300 meters, then go deep and you need equipment.
