Still under the impression of visiting the City of the Dead (link to a video about this amazing place in the upper right corner of the screen, as well as in the description), we slowly moved along the Midagrabin Gorge towards one of the brightest pearls of North Ossetia - the Valley of Waterfalls.
Only two objects from the remarkable places of North Ossetia made it to the pages of the guide to anomalous zones and amazing places in Russia, and one of them is the Valley of Waterfalls in Midagrabin Gorge.
We leave the car and walk along a picturesque road, breathe in the delicious air infused with mountain herbs and admire the wondrous beauty of the mountains.
The first to inform the world about the exceptionally beautiful valley with waterfalls in Midagrabin was the teacher of the women’s high school from Vladikavkaz and passionate traveler Maria Preobrazhenskaya. By the way, she is considered the founder of women’s mountaineering.
There are more than 50 waterfalls in the Valley of Waterfalls... small and large, seasonal and permanent...
All the waterfalls of the valley originate on the peaks of the Kazbek-Dzhimarai snow glacier massif and flow into the Gizeldon, a mountain tributary of the Terek.
The valley of waterfalls is overflowing with the sound of flowing, falling, water hitting rocks... And since we are 70% water, there is a feeling that the body enters into a kind of resonance with the unique atmosphere of the valley.
- Are you improving the riverbed?
- That’s the direction I am going for.
- Change the direction of the river a little bit, right?
- Because if it overflows, it’s impossible to get through.
At last we have reached the first height in Midagrabin Gorge, the foot of the Great Zeygalan Waterfall. Half an hour of the hardest climb and we are there ...
Forgetting how to breathe, we stand side by side.
Water and stones, a heavenly organ
In Midagrabin, in front of the waterfall
Known as Big Zeygalan
Beautiful and powerful, the second largest waterfall in the Valley of the Falls, but certainly the most beautiful. It rises on a glacier at an altitude of more than 3 km above sea level. Zeygalan translated from Ossetian means “falling avalanche“.
The abundance of this waterfall depends greatly on the season and the weather: for example, in sunny weather the flow of water is many times stronger than in cloudy weather, because it is fed by a glacier that hardly melts without heat.
It’s hard to tell how much time we spent staring at the Zeygalan... A truly mesmerizing sight! But we had to move on...
We still have a way back to go
We began the descent to the car... I would like to say that the descent is more difficult than the ascent... Oh, be careful!
We still had to visit Dzivgis rock fortress in Kurtatinsky gorge and Koltso waterfall. After that, we could consider the mission of the first day of the excursion accomplished and return to the Alexandrovsky Hotel with peace of mind (link to the video review of the hotel in the upper right corner of the screen, as well as in the description).
Before leaving the Midagrabin Valley, we stopped on the shore of a picturesque lake. With great pleasure we ate an Ossetian pie washed down with fragrant tea infused with mountain herbs. These dishes were given to us as a surprise by Tourism Ossetia, represented by its founder and our guide Alan! Ossetian hospitality in action!
