Zhigalan Waterfalls, Mountain cascade system in Perm Krai, Russia.
The Zhigalan Waterfalls consist of multiple cascades stretching across 550 meters with drops between 3 to 7 meters in the Northern Urals mountain range.
The waterfalls formed during geological processes millions of years ago when tectonic movements created steep rock formations in the Ural Mountains.
Local Mansi people incorporate the waterfalls into their traditional stories about the formation of the Northern Ural landscape and natural phenomena.
Visitors access the waterfalls through a marked trail from the village of Ust-Ulsa, requiring sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing for the journey.
During winter months, the cascades transform into intricate ice formations, creating natural sculptures that change shape throughout the cold season.
