Park of the Waterfalls, Natural park with waterfalls in Edessa, Greece.
The Park of the Waterfalls features multiple cascading waterfalls that flow from Mount Kaimaktsalan into natural pools, surrounded by well-maintained trails through lush vegetation and scenic viewpoints.
The waterfalls were formed in the 14th century after a geological event created high rocks, and by the 19th century, local textile factories and tanneries utilized their power to generate electricity.
Local legends attribute mystical properties to the waters, and the site has become a symbol of local resilience and history, often featured in cultural references and promotional materials.
The park offers free parking facilities, accessible pathways suitable for all ages, basic amenities, and is illuminated with rainbow colors at night since 2003 for evening visits.
Visitors can walk behind the Karanos waterfall to experience the water curtain from inside, offering an immersive perspective of the 70-meter cascade that few waterfall sites provide.
