Height: 600 m.

Quite a number of waterfalls that deserve the attention of nature lovers and active travellers exist in Russia as well. Among the amazing mountain scenery of North Ossetia, in the valley of the Midagrabindon River there is a beautiful waterfall Zeygalan. It is one of the highest waterfalls in the country. The mountaintop where the waterfall originates from has a height of about 600 meters. Just a few minutes’ drive share this great attraction with a miniature mountain settlement Dzhimara.

The structure of the waterfall is rather unusual. Approximately in the centre it has a pretty big ledge that conventionally separates the stream into the upper and lower parts. A huge glacier located at an altitude of 4000 meters nourish the waterfall. In summer it begins to melt and in the height of summer Zeygalan gains its maximum strength. In winter only thin frozen trickles of water on the rocks remind of the mighty waterfall. The beautiful waterfall is located in the natural surroundings that are no less beautiful and interesting. Many travellers are attracted to these places by legendary Mount Kazbek which is located near the waterfall and is not difficult to reach.
