Dzhily-Su is famous not only for its mineral springs but also for its beautiful waterfalls. Sultan Waterfall plunges down from rocky ledges, dropping 40 meters in a rapid stream.
The photo shows people near the waterfall (in a red jacket) - for clarity of scale.
Drinking water flows through the pipe, spoiling the landscape considerably. I didn't Photoshop it—let it be as is. It's an eyesore, though.
The Kyzylkol River, falling through the Sultan waterfall, merges with the Malka River closer to the springs.
Malka looks like a fairly calm river before its confluence with Kyzylkol.
In some places, water gushes straight out of the rocks.
Right at the water's edge, the steep cliffs resemble a layer cake.
Opposite the Sultan waterfall there is warm narzan, which has a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract.
On the other side of the river, along the path leading to the Sultan, there are the eye and kidney springs.
The road to the Silver Spring begins here.
The Malka River Gorge. Traces of a mudflow are visible on the left slope.
In the mountains, one must always remain vigilant. Mudflows and rockfalls are not uncommon.
Delicate flowers live and delight the eye despite rockfalls, downpours, and hail.
Night is approaching. The sky is illuminated by the last rays of the setting sun.
