Chegem Waterfalls

About

Three picturesque waterfalls in a mountain gorge The waterfalls are formed by the Chegem River, which flows through the Chegem Gorge, stretching for 80 km. Here, cliffs rise dozens of meters up, creating a picturesque natural corridor. The Small, Large, and Main waterfalls are full-flowing in spring, and in winter, they partially freeze, turning into ice sculptures. A steep staircase leads to the observation platform, where millions of splashes fly, forming a rainbow in the sunlight. Nearby, you will find several cafes with Caucasian cuisine and scenic verandas, as well as souvenir shops.
