Narinetskyi Waterfall

Narinetskyi Waterfall is a natural water cascade in Yaremche municipality located within the Carpathian mountain range in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. The water drops down a rocky slope surrounded by dense forest, creating a small pool at its base where visitors can cool off.

The waterfall formed through water erosion on rock layers over millions of years as the Carpathian Mountains developed and shaped the regional landscape. Human settlement in the surrounding area grew gradually, with Yaremche becoming established as a mountain community over recent centuries.

Local residents maintain traditional Hutsul customs and practices near the waterfall, incorporating natural landmarks into their regional folklore and celebrations.

You can reach the location by following marked trails from Yaremche, which are generally suitable for average hikers and clearly signposted. The spring season brings the most water flow due to melting snow, making it the best time for a visit.

The water flow and sound of the falls change dramatically between seasons, creating different acoustic experiences throughout the year. In spring it roars powerfully, while by late summer it becomes a soft murmur that barely disturbs the forest quiet.
