Kivach waterfall, Natural waterfall reserve in Kondopoga District, Russia
The Kivach waterfall spans 10.7 meters in height, forming a cascade system on the Suna River within the Karelian taiga forest landscape.
The natural reserve, established in 1931, underwent modifications in 1936 when Soviet authorities redirected water flow for a hydroelectric power station.
Russian poet Gavrila Derzhavin composed the poem 'Waterfall' in the 18th century after witnessing the powerful flow of Kivach falls.
Visitors can access the waterfall through designated trails in the public excursion zone, which includes a nature museum and educational exhibits.
The waterfall flows over a diabase ridge formed two billion years ago, creating distinct geological formations in the Karelian landscape.
