Abai-Su is the highest non-cascade waterfall in Kabardino-Balkaria. The name of the waterfall was given in honor of the well-aimed hunter Abai. This natural attraction of the republic is very popular. Every year hundreds of tourists from all over the country come here to look at this unique creation of nature.

A beautiful, powerful, noisy waterfall seems to be pouring straight from the depths of the rock, falling down with incredible force. The waterfall flows into the lake. Abai-Su does not have cascades, it descends not in a single stream, but in a huge number of streams that run along the stone ledges, either connecting together or splitting into parts. You can spend hours admiring the beauty of falling water, its diversity and strength.

In winter, the waterfall completely freezes. As if time stops with it. An ice sculpture appears before tourists. This is an incredible sight. The radiance of stalactites and stalagmites under the winter sun gives all tourists amazing emotions. In warm winters, only the bottom of the waterfall freezes, and then the picture becomes completely amazing — the water from above is poured in a continuous stream like into an ice glass.
