2. Waterfall Jur-Jur

• Everyone has a special
place, somewhere
they t have happy
memories of. Well, for
me it's waterfall JurJur. It's my favorite
place in Crimea. The
waterfall is in a truly
spectacular location
and there are many
exciting things to see
and do there.

3. Name

One version says that Jur-Jur means ‘forever
babbling,’ another one states that it is just
an untranslatable imitation of the sound,
made by water, gracefully falling down from
the cliff. Anyway, the waterfall fully lives up
to its name: it doesn’t make noise or rattle,
but gently babbles, slowly sliding down the
ravine.

4. Location

• Waterfall is located on a mountain river Ulu-Uzen
East in the tract Haphal, Alushta. Average
consumption is 270 liters of water per second, from
the height of 15 meters, width up to 5 meters. It
does not dry out even in the driest years, unlike
other Crimean waterfalls. Upstream there is a
cascade of very spectacular waterfalls and rapids,
with a total height of fall of about one hundred
meters.

• The waterfall and the
area around is a unique
and stunningly
beautiful. As you
approach the waterfall
via a scenic trail found
a lot of amazing wood
sculptures created by
local residents , and
bizarre forms of trees
with exposed roots on
the surface , about
which I continually
stumbled.

• While there, I took lots of photos, in the
beech forest , which, as in a fairy tale, and
I heard this mesmerizing sound of falling
water. But the most memorable was
swimming in a bath at a temperature of 8
degrees.

Waterfall Jur-Jur is a fantastic place! I have
many unforgettable memories of the unique
sights, sounds and smells there and the exciting
things I did. It will always hold a very special
place in my heart.
