Description
The waterfall has a 2-cascade, the height of the upper step is 4 m, the lower - 5 m. Over the long period of its existence, the waterfall created a 10-meter bathtub filled with water in soft rocky sandstone at the place of its fall, which is recognized as a special attraction of this waterfall [ 1] . The water is foamy, dazzlingly white in color, due to the large number of air bubbles formed from water rifts [2] .
Name Origin
The word Ayuk is derived from the Adyghe Ayuko, which means "bad, unkind valley " [3] .
Location and tourism
The waterfall is an object of tourism, as it presents a good opportunity for an exotic swim in the forest with the noise of falling water, as well as the unusual color of water flows. The waterfall can be reached only by car with good traffic or by regular bus , which takes you to the ford across the river Chepsi , after which you need to walk another 6 km on a dirt road. The route to the waterfall is uncomplicated and is suitable for less trained tourists as well . Above the waterfall along the Burlachenkova river, there is a suitable parking spot [2] .
