Korab Falls (also known as Proifel Falls) is a waterfall in the upper course of the Dlaboka River on Mount Korab. It forms in springtime from the melting snow on the east side of Mal Korab peak. The waterfall differs in height and intensity, depending on the season. It is the highest waterfall in Macedonia and the Balkan Peninsula.

The sight is stunning but isn’t permanent. The elusive Korab waterfall is a temporary phenomenon which makes it even more alluring. It occurs only when the day becomes long enough to allow the sun to melt the accumulated snow on top of the Mal Korab table. The waterfall season varies but is usually between the start of May to early July.

The best path to the waterfall is the one that follows the river canyon. It can be reached from either the left or right side of the river, via the towns of Nistrovo and Zuznje, or from the right bank via Bibaj, beneath Kabash Peak. The paths are poorly signposted and overgrown, and there are multiple dangerous river crossings. Few adventurers from Macedonia and across the world actively enjoy the sights afforded by the narrow trails lined with wildflowers and immersed in the aroma of the forest. Even in the summer, the shade given by the oak grove and the wind of cold air make the beating heat bearable.
