Probiy

Probiy is a waterfall on the Prut River in the Carpathians, dropping roughly 8 meters down rocky terrain. It flows through a narrow gorge and creates strong currents that churn the water below.

The waterfall existed in the 19th century but with different proportions than today. Natural erosion has gradually reshaped the river channel and altered how the water flows.

The location holds meaning for local youth as a place to test courage and limits. The jumps from the bridge above represent an unofficial tradition that has become known among visitors.

Several hiking trails lead to the waterfall and offer different viewing spots. The best time to visit is after rainy periods, when the water flow is at its fullest.

The waterfall forms a natural barrier in the river that only certain fish species like brook trout can navigate. This barrier allows researchers to track rare fish populations in the area.
