Peshtersky waterfall

Altai region
This beautiful place in the Zalesovsky district appeared relatively recently. During the construction of the Altai-Kuzbass highway to the north of the village of Peshcherka, blasting operations were carried out, as a result of which a waterfall 10 m high was formed in the bed of the Peshcherka River. In summer, the width of the waterfall is 5 m, in spring - about 10. The waterfall is very picturesque and looks quite natural.

Above the waterfall, the river valley was dammed up, a reservoir was formed. The water here warms up well, so the streams of the waterfall are not cold, and vacationers take a natural "shower" with pleasure.

From the waterfall downstream, the river valley becomes very narrow, the banks are steep. Around the black taiga: fir, spruce, birch, grasses higher than human growth - lilac thickets of willow-tea, blue flowers of aconite and two-meter umbrellas of cow parsnip.
