Palovit Waterfall

Palovit Waterfall is a 15-meter drop surrounded by thick vegetation in the Kaçkar Mountains, with several viewing points to see the water from different angles. The area includes picnic spots, camping zones, and a hanging bridge that connects different parts of the landscape.

This waterfall has been a natural landmark in the Black Sea region for a long time, lying along old trading routes through the mountains. Its importance as a reference point in the landscape has lasted across centuries.

The waterfall serves as a gathering spot where local families cook traditional meals and spend time together in nature. This custom connects people to the landscape and keeps older ways of living alive in the region.

The waterfall is best reached via marked trails that lead to viewpoints and the hanging bridge. Visitors should wear good shoes since the terrain is hilly and can be uneven in places.

The site sits in a microclimate zone that keeps water flowing year-round, even during dry seasons. This steady water supply supports rare plants found nowhere else in the Black Sea region.
