Ivanovsky Waterfall

Ivanovsky Waterfall is a water cascade in Adlersky District of Sochi, located within dense vegetation at approximately 400 meters elevation. The water drops around 10 meters and collects in a small natural pool surrounded by forest.

The area became protected as part of Sochi National Park in 1983, securing the long-term preservation of this natural site. This step was part of efforts to safeguard the coastal landscapes of the Caucasus region.

Local people come here during warm months to enjoy time in nature and cool off in the water. The spot serves as a gathering place for those who value the mountainous landscape and its natural features.

The site is reached on foot via marked trails from the main parking area, with a walk of about 30 minutes required. The path goes uphill through the forest, so sturdy shoes and water are advisable.

The waterfall is part of the Psakho River system and its water temperature stays pleasantly cool even during the hottest months. This natural cooling makes it a valued spot for visitors seeking relief from summer heat.
