Dzhurla waterfall is a real decoration of Mount Demerdzhi. Tourist camp Upper Dzhurla. Where is the waterfall in Crimea

Crimea is considered a favorite vacation spot not only for beachgoers, but also for fans of hiking, mountain tourism. Covered in legends, the Crimean Mountains are not inaccessible peaks, but they are no less beautiful than the Caucasus or Altai. Among them bizarre rocks and gorges hide truly amazing corners. Those who have been here are drawn to come back here. One of them is the Dzhurla waterfall in the Crimea.

Where is the waterfall located in Crimea?

It is located on a river flowing near. In the upper reaches the river is called Sotera, below - Alaka. It is also called Dzhurla, like the described attraction, which in Tatar means “running water”. In Crimea, such "numerous" names of rivers are quite common. Dzhurla is also called the gorge, where the waterfall cascade is located. Nearest locality- Luchistoye village.

Dzhurla on the map of Crimea

Through the efforts of water and stone

The waterfalls on Soter arose as a result of the confrontation between stone and water. For a very long time, the water of the river has eroded the limestones that occur in abundance here, and smoothed out the harder rocks. As a result, a whole cascade of ledges of various heights was formed - from a couple of meters to several tens.

You can observe them “for real” only in spring or autumn (or if the summer turns out to be rainy, but this rarely happens in Crimea), since Sotera, like most Crimean rivers, dries up a lot in the heat. From it remains a tiny stream, to imagine all the possible beauty through it natural phenomenon impossible.

Dzhurla waterfall - a mystery on the map

Like almost all the sights of the Crimea, the Dzhurla waterfall has long been overgrown with many legends. One of them says that some evil water spirit created the cascades. He did not like that people appeared near the water. He flooded the settlement, whose inhabitants washed their cattle in the river and watered their cattle in it, made researchers who tried to study the course get lost, clouding their minds.

For a long time the spirit came up with all sorts of things, until one day a powerful wizard came to him. The magician convinced him that all efforts were in vain and there was no point in doing evil, trying to drive people away from the water: the spirit left these places and no longer harmed the inhabitants.
And people felt the beauty of these places and began to be more sensitive to water.

But the Dzhurla waterfall is surrounded by a more mysterious, and not at all fantastic mystery. For many years scientists locals And experienced tourists they argue which, in fact, of the cascades on Soter should be called the main one. Everyone agrees only that it is not (there is also such a waterfall here, because of the abundant spray it really looks like a geyser). Specialists walk along the river, study and compare maps, and read the memories of travelers. On the most accurate layouts, including military ones, the water giant regularly appears in different places.

Today, two versions are the most popular. The first considers the “real Jurla” a 6 m high waterfall in the very upper reaches of the river. It completes a series of small cascades. It is this object that often appears in the photo. According to the second version, the "true" one is higher (about 50 m), located downstream. It is rather difficult to see it in its entirety, as it is difficult to get close because of the thickets and scree.

At the intersection of routes

Dzhurla waterfall in Crimea is a very visited place. People go here on their own, but usually already quite experienced tourists. Beginners are advised to visit beautiful corner within the group. Many tourist routes pass through the Dzhurla tract and include obligatory visit this one. First of all, these are excursions to Demerdzhi and to. Some of them are designed for several days,
in this case, one of the overnight stays is usually near the river.

On the site not far from the upper "real waterfall" there is an almost permanent tourist camp, where tents and groups are pitched, and independent tourists. The place was chosen both for its beauty and for the proximity of water. But the source of water is not the Sotera River at all, but a small spring nearby. It is not advised to drink from the river, since horses intended for lodging above the waterfall, as a result, the usefulness of the river liquid does not increase from their proximity.

Different instructors hold different points of view on the location of the "true" waterfall, respectively, focusing the attention of tourists. But the Sotera gorge is beautiful in principle, because it is a bizarre combination of rocks and steppe vegetation. There are almost no dense thickets here, so it is relatively easy to move around. A “real Jurla” can be considered any flowing handsome man on the river, if only he liked more than others. Tourists who have visited the canyon leave rave reviews about the hike and for the most part do not worry about geographical inaccuracies.

How to get to Jurla?

Problems with maps where the waterfall changes location don't really complicate the problem as to how to get there. Dzhurla waterfall is a well-known place, two well-trodden paths lead to it. You will have to go on foot - a car will not help in the gorge, you can get to the village on it. Groups often gather for excursions to Demerdzhi. If you stick to such a group, there will be no problems at all.

By car, you can get to Radiant from Alushta in 15 minutes:

Note to the tourist

• Address: s. Radiant, urban district of Alushta, Crimea, Russia.
• Coordinates: 44°46′4″N (44.767884), 34°25′32″E (34.42551).

When moving on your own feet, you can see much more than from a car window. Worth a little work limbs on the rocks Crimean mountains so that they reveal all their charm to their eyes, the Jurla waterfall is just one of them. See at the end short video about him.

We considered some options on how to get to Mount Demerdzhi, climbed to the parking lot and met the sunset on South Demerdzhi. In this part, we will meet the sunrise on the South Demerdzhi mountain and visit the Dzhurla waterfall.

I woke up at 4:00, and at 4:20 I was already on my way. I took half a liter of water with me and a light snack, given the cool evening experience - a warm fleece, warm underpants, a membrane windbreaker, gloves and a hat. From the tourist camp Verkhnyaya Dzhurla to Mount Alenga, 2.5 km and about 170 meters of climb. I walked this distance in an hour, at 5:20 I was already at the rocks. The light show begins!

Sunrise is such a wonderful time that is like nothing else. You see how the night goes and the light comes. And all this is often accompanied by such violent colors that it is impossible not to admire. This beauty is worth the difficulty of early climbs. True, unless of course the sky is completely covered with clouds. There are still night lights in the valley, and the sun is getting closer.

And here comes the sunrise.

Pink is added to the soft yellow lighting. Both mountains of the upper Chatyr-Dag plateau are highlighted.

The pink turns to gold pretty quickly.

And then the valley and the slopes of Demerdzhi were flooded with such a golden glow, I would even say, with a divine light, which I had never seen before. I even shed a tear. It seemed that he was just everywhere around, pouring and flowing with warmth. It is very difficult to convey in words, probably, you have to be a poet. Therefore, I will try to convey the photos.

Let's pay attention to a little triangulation, or geodetic point on the top of Mount Alenga. We are talking about this pyramid, visible from afar.

A triangulation point is a point on the earth's surface, the coordinates of which are determined by the triangulation method (a section of geodesy derived from trigonometry). Triangulation is a method of creating a network using control points, as well as this network itself. These points form triangles. We get the surface of the earth covered with triangles. If we know the dimensions of the sides (which means the distance on the map and the surface of the earth) of the initial triangles (such sides are called basic), then by measuring the angles of the triangles between the triangulation points, we can calculate the distance between them, that is, those that are not yet known . And, accordingly, these exact distances will form the basis of the maps. Such geodetic networks are different levels depending on accuracy and tasks.

Of course, now there are satellite navigators, convenient and accurate. But, firstly, satellite networks must be periodically rechecked, and secondly, sometimes it happens that accurate instruments are not always available, then they resort to such reference points. Well, and also a lyrical digression - what will happen if something happens to the satellite network? There is no Internet, no cellular network, navigators do not work! Horror? Google will not work, but there are no more books! Terrestrial communication is already scarce, and cell phones do not work. There are few maps, and few people already know the basics of using them, and navigators do not work! What to do? Therefore, it seems to me that it is necessary to know some basics even in our modern world, precisely because its so rapid development is just as unstable and dependent. And if you go on a hike using the navigator, you should always have a map and compass with you, and study it first.

But back to our mysterious handsome item. On the tour, located in the center of the pyramid and being the working platform of the observer, there is a brand of the center, which is listed in a special catalog.

On the stamp on Demerdzhi it says “TRIANG. GUGK 226". Triangulation Point No. 226, Main Directorate of Geodesy and Cartography. Well, beauty is beauty, but today there are other tasks, I’m going to the base.

Morning, and the UAZ is already crawling along the dirt road towards the Demerdzhi-yayla plateau.

Well, I turn right on the saddle and go to the Verkhnyaya Dzhurla parking lot.

Tourist camp Upper Dzhurla

There are several location options at the tourist parking lot. If you go from the saddle, then, before reaching the Suat-Cheshme spring, there are several horizontal platforms on the slope of the beech forest.

For lovers of coolness and shade - that's it. A little further is the Suat-Cheshme spring. This is an all-season spring, that is, according to information from numerous sources, you can always count on water in it. Just in case, spring coordinates – N 44°45’56.5”, E 034°24’52.1”

The photo below was taken from the open meadow where we stood. To the right there is a primer to the saddle, and a path leads up to the spring (then it turns into a path to the saddle through a beech forest). To the left of this path, on a slope between white birch trunks, there are parking lots with tables and benches made of logs and planks.

We did not get up there, as it was clear that they were clearly not designed for two people, plus tables and benches - this is always a place for a gathering of people. Left them for larger groups. And most importantly, we stood up open space because it has the most sun. In early October, it is no longer so hot, but in the morning on the tent, and inside the canopy there was a lot of condensate. Why is there on the tent, after one of the nights, the condensate was even on the outside of the sleeping bag! And the sooner the sun began to warm up the tent, the faster it dried out. We didn't need a fire pit, the burner is our friend. We simply did not have enough time for a fire, even for beauty and warmth.

From the Upper Duzhrla parking lot there is an excellent view of the Yurkina rocks.

And a cloud came to visit us!

Cool feeling. It's warm, the sun, and then a cloud comes at you and pours thousands of small droplets over you. So cool and fresh.

After lunch, I decided to take a walk to the Jurla waterfall. The distance from the tourist camp Upper Dzhurla to the Dzhurla waterfall is from 1.1 to 1.4 km. See how to go. I got there in an hour, with stops for photography, sightseeing of interesting places and search for the Parachidagyn-Chesmesi spring. You can walk at a fast pace in 20-30 minutes. This spring is seasonal and not always available. In my case, according to the indicated coordinates, I did not find a living spring at this time of the year. In the fog, the beech forest is very beautiful. When the sun breaks through the cloud from above, you find yourself like in a fairy tale.

And when there is no sun, a very mysterious mood arises. Everything is so ghostly.

And trolls are starting to peek out from behind some trees!

I went to the waterfall from the top viewpoint.

Then, having bypassed the rock and strayed a little in the intricacies of the paths, he went out to its foot.

The Dzhurla waterfall in early October was, it seems, the least full-flowing. It hasn't rained yet. And of course, it is better to see it in the spring, like almost any waterfall. But still, I liked to sit for a while in silence and solitude by its waters.

On the way back, I took a different path and met a large and, it seems, old beech, a part of which lay nearby, broken off either from its own weight or from old age. By the way, in this forest there are quite a lot of such large branches or parts of trunks that lie on the ground. I can imagine what a crack and rumble was in the whole forest. And there are wonderful mushrooms on the tree. Everything always happens for a reason. And life goes on.

I returned to the parking lot by sunset and dinner.

Descending the cow trail

The next day, I planned to take a walk to the Northern Demerdzhi mountain, and then act according to the circumstances: either stay another night, or go down. Waking up in the morning, we saw that everything around was covered with dense clouds. Yes, and according to the weather forecast, which I looked at in advance at the camp site, something like this should have been. But forecasts for that and forecasts that may not come true. This time everything is clear. So, it makes no sense to go to the Northern Demerdzhi - everything is also overcast there.

We began to collect the tent, as we heard the sounds of the motor, which were getting closer and closer. It was an escort car for the children's group, which threw their things to the parking lot. Since there were a lot of kids there and they were small, they would not be able to carry backpacks.

Well, we went downhill.

Downhill cyclists flew past several times. The Cow Trail is just right for them.

And down below it was quite sunny.

The cycling theme accompanied us the rest of the day. On the way to the camp site, we were overtaken by a group of cyclists-tourists with bicycle backpacks. It turns out that it was a peleton. A little later, those to whom the rise was given more difficult pulled themselves up. Do not forget that the hostel is located much higher than the main route. We went to the base almost at the same time, everyone was a little tired, but happy!

The guys have already covered more than half of their journey. After Radiant, they were going towards Yalta on Ai-Petri, and end point was in Simferopol. Overnight stays were indoors, respectively, tents, sleeping bags and rugs disappear from backpacks, and you need less warm clothes, otherwise cycling is much easier and more pleasant. Although looking at the tired faces of some participants, I did not dare to say that they should be glad that there are no tents and everything else!

Despite the fact that it was mostly clear in the village, Demerdzhi herself remained hidden by clouds, so we did right choice that did not wait on the mountain for clarification. Even Chatyr-Dag got it.

And for tomorrow, a light walk to the Valley of Ghosts is planned.

p.s. Finally, about Demerdzhi, I would like to warn a little. Reading numerous reviews about visiting these places, you may get the impression that it is akin to a walk in the park, where everything is safe and just in case there are caretakers who will always help you. Yes, walks in these places are accessible to almost everyone. But there must be a reasonable approach. For example, I will give two stories that we heard from the hostess of the Ghost Valley camp site. A young man and a girl went for a walk in the Stone Chaos tract, adjacent to the Valley of Ghosts. While climbing stones, the young man fell, got a fracture, and only in the evening they hobbled to the village, where they were already taken to the hospital (perhaps, for some reason, they did not take their phone with them).

Or another case: an inspired girl arrived at the camp site in the late afternoon. “And here you can take a walk along Demerdzhi? How about going there?" “Yes, there….” - they only managed to tell her, and she galloped off towards the Valley of Ghosts. The sun went down, twilight began to descend, but the girl was still gone. It's getting dark, but she's still gone. Then, in the distance, on a dirt road, a car of the Ministry of Emergency Situations appeared and began to climb the mountain. “Not good,” they thought at the camp site. Well, it turned out that way: the girl went up the mountain, not estimating how much time it takes. Twilight and darkness found her there. In the darkness, she did not understand the junction of the roads on the saddle and left along the wrong road. Fortunately, she had enough phone battery and there was at least some kind of network, she called 112 and called for help. They brought her by midnight, cold and hungry. And there are probably many such stories. You always need to evaluate time and distance, and your strength. After all, walks in nature should be beneficial, not harmful.

We considered some options on how to get to Demerdzhi, settled in a camp site and met the sunset on South Demerdzhi.

List explanations.

In total, the weight without food and the positions that I wear when I walk (pants, thermal shirt, boots) is 16 kg. Which is a lot, but since the trip was short, we decided not to choose too much.

The Pinguin Spirit sleeping bag, of course, is too warm for this time and these heights, it was possible to take it with a limit temperature of about 0 and a comfort of +5. But it was the wish of the representative better half humanity, since we have two such sleeping bags and they can be fastened (right / left). Yes, and it was not far to go, so the weight is not critical. IN Lately I began to take a spare burner, for these purposes I purchased a titanium FireMaple. Anything happens. My JetBoil somehow clogged up, and I had to clean the nozzle with a thin wire, since it all happened almost near the city, but now I always take a spare. In general, duplicating vital elements (for example, lanterns in caves) is the right move.

The rich nature of the peninsula never ceases to amaze unique creations, which are obtained due to unusual combinations of the local landscape and water elements. One of these masterpieces is the amazing beauty of the Dzhurla waterfall. It is located near the small village of Radiant, near Alushta, on the southeastern slopes of Demerdzhi.

History of occurrence

The name translated from Tatar sounds like "running water". And indeed, looking at the seething streams, it becomes clear why he was called that. The source of the waterfall is mountain river, which originates from the bowels of the majestic Demerdzhi mountain range. The Tatars called certain sections of the river differently.

The top one was named Jurla, the middle one Sotera, and the bottom one Alaka. Over the years, the river has had a continuous impact on this area. Sand, limestone and soil washed out thanks to the flow of water, and massive stone slabs remained motionless, allowing only slightly sharpened corners. The result is a cascade of waterfalls, consisting of giant steps, their height varies - you can’t find two identical ones.

What especially attracts attention is the outlandish color of the stone, over which water flows. He temptingly plays in the sun with multi-colored tints. This can be explained as follows: the waters are saturated with trace elements and various salts, which over time were deposited on the plates.

Where is the Jurla waterfall located?

There are different versions as to which of the cascades is called Jurla? Leading are:

• some insist that the chief of the waterfalls is the one that is above all;
• others defend the theory that the real one is in the middle and its height is 6 meters;
• still others are firmly convinced that the whole series of cascades in the complex has the right to be called "boiling water". But you need to admire it only from afar to see the whole picture.

When is the Jurla waterfall the most attractive?

To get enough of vivid impressions and get the most out of visiting this attraction, you should know some features. Considering that the summer in Crimea is usually very hot, Sotera dries up for a while, leaving only a small stream as a reminder of itself.

Therefore, it is advisable to visit the Dzhurla waterfall when the spring thaw comes in the Crimea. Then the water flows reach maximum volumes, pleasing to the eye and allowing you to take amazing pictures.

Information for tourists

All tourists interested in the sights of Alushta have the opportunity to visit the Dzhurla waterfall in Crimea. This object is included in many excursions. For example, during a trip to Demerzhdi, it is impossible to pass by. And if you go from the upper tourist parking, the road will take no more than an hour, because the distance from there is about 1.3 km.

The same applies to excursions to the Valley of Ghosts - Dzhurla is an obligatory part of the program. You can often find in these places and independent travelers who prefer freedom from standard routes and clear mode. Everyone tries to choose the option to their liking.

Dzhurla tract. Dzhurla tourist camp. Jurla waterfall.

The waterfall is one of the attractions of the peninsula. It is very beautiful during the flood of the river in spring, when you can see the whole series of cascades in all its beauty. In summer, a small trickle of water remains from the waterfall. But it is worth noting that the beauty of this place is somewhat lost. The tract itself and the ensemble of rocky slopes around give this place beauty and uniqueness, and the waterfall only emphasizes and decorates it.

In addition to the waterfall in the Dzhurla gorge, there are four more places in the tract that are worth visiting. One of them is a birch grove and a lake on the upper Dzhurla. To make it clear, let's digress a little from the sights and consider the tourist geography of the gorge. The gorge consists of three steps, flat areas on which it is comfortable to place tourist bivouacs. Between these steps there are steep slopes, on which, if it is possible to set up a camp, then only in a small group of 1-2 tents.

The first step is in the upper reaches of the gorge, near a beautiful birch grove and a small lake, there is the official tourist camp Dzhurla. The second stage is located 500 meters downstream, the parking lots are in pine forest with beautiful views. The attraction of this area is the Jurla waterfall.. The area is called middle Dzhurla, there is no official tourist camp there, and according to the law, the foresters can make claims if you stop for the night. But the great popularity of the Dzhurla tract simply cannot accommodate all the tourists on the upper Dzhurla, so tourists are not touched throughout the tract. The third region (step) is located 300 meters further downstream and is called the lower Dzhurla. Here you will find a large clearing that fits 4-5 groups, as well as many bivouacs in the forest. The main attraction of this area is the cliffs.

I already mentioned the cliffs above, they end the tract downstream of the river. A little lower than the tourist camp is the lower Dzhurla, the gorge abruptly ends with a stone wall of 30-60 meters, and then steep slopes of 100-200 meters. From the cliffs open beautiful views to the valley of the river Alaka(as the river Dzhurla is called downstream), as well as a panorama on the coast. Also in the morning you can catch a unique spectacle, like over a dozen eagles, which nest on cliffs, circle in the morning thermal streams.

Of the interesting places I mentioned, only two remain. The first is the area of ​​the river below the Jurla waterfall. For many tourists, the section of the river, between the middle and lower Dzhurla, is a white spot on the map. The impassable section along the river is bypassed by all paths, and there is something to see there. I will not disclose what you will see there, I will say one thing - it is better to go upstream from the lower Dzhurla. Second interesting place described in many articles: "If you rise above the cascades of the Jurla waterfall, you can see the wild cave of Jurla, the length of which is about 60 meters". If you find it, then I think you should definitely visit it. But, I never found it, if anyone knows its coordinates, please send me.

I mentioned earlier that many tourist routes converge on Jurla, let's look at them: Route unmarked EXTREME - Canyoning on the river Alaka. From the lower Dzhurla, go along the Dzhurla River, approach the cliff, hang ropes, go down and so on 7-9 times. The route goes to the valley of the river Sotera to the waterfall "Geyser". The route requires special equipment and skills. If you are interested this route, you can walk along it as part of Extreme hikes along our routes "In search of Extreme", "Canyoning Jurla-Alaka".
Route number 131, among tourists it is called the "Cow Trail". It starts from the village of Radiant, goes along the slope of the mountain and goes straight to the Dzhurla waterfall. This is the easiest route to climb and is often used on day trips light, and is also convenient for catching up with a group.
Route number 138. It goes along the slope of the Northern Demerdzhi from the Dzhurla tract to the Dzhur-Dzhur waterfall (lower reaches of the Khap-Khal gorge). It connects two important sights of the Crimea, so it is popular. The route is panoramic thanks to numerous branches to viewing pockets. Please note that there is a significant loss of altitude on the route, or a gain in altitude, depending on the direction of travel.
Route number 137. It goes from the Dzhurla tract along the Demerdzhi yayla, to the isthmus on the Tyrka yaylu (upper reaches of the Khap-Khal gorge). This route for main ridge without loss of height. You can descend from the isthmus to the Khap-Khal gorge, or continue your journey further towards Karabi.
Route number 134. Very comfortable and sightseeing route, which will take you to the Funa pass, from there it is easy to get to the Angarsk pass. The trail winds along the mountainside above the cliff, with views of the Alushta Valley.
Route number 130. I have never gone and would not recommend to others. An inconvenient route, not a sightseeing one, with a large loss of height, if you need to go down from the mountains, it is better to use route 131.
The route is not marked through the top of South Demerdzhi and the Valley of Ghosts. It starts from the Jurla waterfall, rise from the water to the Southern slope, go 20 meters deep into the pine forest, watch the road up the beam past the stables. A road with a steep ascent will take you to the top of South Demerdzhi, from there there is a path that descends through the entire Valley of Ghosts. The second start of the route is from the lake on the upper Dzhurla, first you need to go to the Demerdzhinskoye saddle pass to the branch of routes 132 and 130, and from there go along the road towards the peak of South Demerdzhi. The route is popular, included in the route day trip: Radiant - route 131 - Dzhurla waterfall - Y. Demerdzhi - Ghost Valley - Radiant
