Standing at around 70 meters (230 feet) high, it boasts two cascading streams that create a picturesque sight against the mountainside. The waterfall's rich history is steeped in local folklore, with tales of nuns, golden combs, and mysterious disappearances adding an eerie charm to the area. There's an easy hike up to the waterfall itself which also marks the first stop in a 5 km loop called the love path.
