WorldYellow In detail

This minuscule waterfall is rather unsighty because a local road, that leads towards a single farmstead, crosses just before the fall and the small stream is channeled in a plastic pipe. Waterfall does not have much water in it and for the most part of the year it is dry. It is 0.6 m high and up to 0.4 m wide.

Nevertheless, this seems to be a natural waterfall. Well, nearby are a lot more picturesque waterfalls: Zarvalka Waterfall and Elciņu Valka Waterfall.
