Plakun, Natural waterfall and protected area in Perm Krai, Russia
Two narrow water streams cascade down seven meters over sandstone cliffs along the Sylva River, creating thousands of water droplets in their descent.
The waterfall gained religious significance when a monk named Ilya established a cell near the site, leading to regular pilgrimages during the seventeenth century.
The name Plakun derives from the Russian word for weeping, connected to a tale of a girl whose tears transformed into falling water streams.
Visitors can reach the waterfall by following a 10-kilometer route from Suksun village, where accommodations and tourist facilities are available.
The water temperature remains constant at 5.2 degrees Celsius throughout the year, flowing through limestone formations that create calcareous tuffs.
