Alibeksky Waterfall, Mountain waterfall in Karachay-Cherkessia, Russia.
Description
Alibeksky Waterfall originates from a glacier and drops over dark rock faces in the Dombai region. The water divides into several streams that merge and tumble downward together.
History
The waterfall takes its name from the nearby glacier, which has retreated significantly over recent decades. The glacier's changes directly affect the flow and character of the cascade.
Culture
The Dombai region surrounding the waterfall serves as a natural boundary between different ethnic communities that have lived in the Caucasus Mountains.
Practical
Visitors follow marked hiking trails through Teberda Nature Reserve to reach the waterfall. Warmer months offer easier access, and experienced hikers can navigate the route independently.
Did you know?
The water streams shift their pattern and intensity with the seasons and glacier melt. This constant change means each visit reveals a slightly different appearance.
