In detail
This small waterfall is located near the much better known Ivande Waterfall and can be reached by some 5-minute long walk along the right bank of the river.
This fall is formed by a spring and falls over layers of the Middle Devonian dolostone. Light-colored and red sandstone layers are seen under the dolostone.
The spring is fed by shallow groundwater and in summer there is no water in it.
