This excursion is particularly worthwhile in the early morning hours (access possible from 8 a.m. for 50 lek). After a 1.5 km long hike you reach this breathtaking water spring from which around 6000 liters per second (!) flow out.

Even if you would like to treat yourself to a fresh swim in this crystal clear water, you unfortunately have to forego it as swimming is prohibited in this nature reserve. The sight alone makes a visit highly recommended.
