Kaledonian Waterfall, Mountain waterfall in Troodos Forest Park, Cyprus

Kaledonian Waterfall drops in a narrow white column from a high rock face in the Troodos Forest, falling almost vertically behind a slender tree trunk. The water brightens as it nears the bottom and lands among large dark grey boulders, then breaks into small white cascades over moss-tinged rocks. A steep slope covered in dense green vegetation bounds the falls on the right.

The waterfall lies at 1,316 metres on the Kryos Potamos in the Limassol District, about 50 km southwest of Nicosia and 10.3 km east of Kyperoúnta. The surrounding slopes rise to 1,706 metres within a kilometre to the south. The area is wooded, with forests around the falls and a Mediterranean climate of about 19 °C mean temperature.

The waterfall lies on the Kryos Potamos in the Troodos Forest, about 10 km west of Kyperounta in Limassol District, at roughly 1,316 m elevation. Its Greek name, Katarráktis Kalidonión, links it to Kaledonia, and the stream below the drop feeds small pools among moss-covered rocks.

The trail to the waterfall takes about one hour descending from Troodos Square through woodland to reach the base. Benches are placed at the base for rest stops, and the path is walkable for most visitors though fairly steep in sections.

The waterfall flows year-round and supports a trout population in natural pools along the stream, an unusual sight on the island. These cold-water fish thrive in the mountain springs that feed the cascade.
