Duf Waterfall

The River Radika as it made its way through the rocks near the village Rostushe carved the most spectacular and grandiose waterfall in the western part of Macedonia. The waterfall is around 30 meters high and is positioned at 1500 meters above sea level. Moreover, it belongs in the areas of the National Park Mavrovo. To reach this impressive place where nature was very creative one has to pass through the rocky canyon. The canyon is with high vegetation and on some places, it looks like a rainforest. In addition in some places, the canyon is high over 100 meters. The two rivers Mala River and Golema River (Mala reka and Golema reka) join together 2 km before the fall making up the Roshushe River.

The height of the rock from which the cascades cascade is what distinguishes this waterfall from others. The water falling from that height makes a magnificent sound and view, reminding us of something incredibly powerful and grandiose. Nature provides miracles, such as this Duf waterfall. In the spring, the image of the waterfall and the sentiments it evokes in visitors are more larger and more real. This phenomenon occurs when the snow melts, and the water level increases approximately twice as much as it would normally, providing a considerably more stunning feeling.

What is typical for this place is the microclimate with a temperature from 15 to 18 degrees that does not change during the summer. During the winter period, the waterfall is frozen and water drops appear. This phenomenon is one of the rare ones. People say they have a feeling that it is raining. Moreover, there are around 20 caves along the canyon.
