Vodopad Chyrkhalyu, Mountain waterfall in Khunzakh District, Dagestan, Russia
The Vodopad Chyrkhalyu waterfall drops 70 meters from the Tobot River into the Tsolotlinsky canyon, creating a powerful stream visible from multiple observation points.
Russian explorer Yakov Kostenetsky documented the waterfall in the 19th century, marking its first appearance in historical records of the North Caucasus region.
The waterfall forms part of the Khunzakh Nature Park, where local guides share stories about the geological formations and natural heritage of Dagestan.
Visitors can reach the waterfall through a 152-kilometer drive from Makhachkala, with entrance fees of 100 rubles for adults at the Khunzakh Nature Park.
During winter months, the waterfall transforms into a massive hollow ice formation that maintains a continuous water flow through its frozen exterior shell.
