From the parking lot, the route follows the river, whose floodplains are home to wonderful plants indicating the area's bogging. Through a dwarf birch forest, you reach the first waterfall, which shows you the power of the water. After a while, you arrive at the destination. The waterfall is wild and romantic, inviting you to dream. The same route leads back to the parking lot.

Author’s recommendation

Enjoy the landscape along the river, especially the forest of dwarf birches. Such a continuous stretch is rarely seen.
