Devichyi Kosy, Waterfall in Elbrussky District, Russia
The Devichyi Kosy waterfall descends 31.7 meters through the mountain slopes of Kabardino-Balkaria, creating multiple cascading streams against the rocky surface.
The waterfall stands as a witness to centuries of geological formation in the Caucasus Mountains, shaped by continuous water erosion and tectonic movements.
Local inhabitants of Kabardino-Balkaria named the waterfall Devichyi Kosy, meaning Maiden's Braids, based on the appearance of its water streams.
Visitors can reach the waterfall through marked hiking trails from Terskol settlement, with guided tours available during spring and summer months.
The waterfall changes its flow pattern throughout the seasons, reaching maximum water volume during the spring snowmelt in the Caucasus Mountains.
