Amginsky Waterfall

Amginsky Waterfall, Waterfall in Primorsky Krai, Russia

Bolshoy Amginsky, also called Black Shaman, is a waterfall on the Srednyaya Amgu River in the upper Amgu basin, Terneysky District, Primorsky Krai. Its water has cut a narrow gorge known as the Devil's Mouth, and the fall drops about 35 metres (some sources say 37) between dark cliffs rising some 200 metres that keep the sun off the gorge. Snow and ice linger there until mid-June.

The waterfall lies in Terneysky District of Primorsky Krai, 40 km from the village of Amgu, on the Srednyaya Amgu River in the upper Amgu basin. Its second name, Black Shaman, comes from a large black stone on the cliff above the falls and was coined for advertising to draw tourists. Six more waterfalls, 3 to 9 m high, stand upstream.

The name "Black Shaman" comes from a large black stone lying above the falls; it is a promotional name coined to draw tourists rather than a traditional one. The waterfall stands on the Srednyaya Amgu River in Terneysky District, Primorsky Krai, 40 km from the village of Amgu.
