Impressive due to its height (Gocta)

submitted by Georg on February 12, 2014

The World of Waterfalls has been to this waterfall, which you can read about here.

From a distance, Gocta waterfall seemed, well, pretty but quite average. During the nice hike in comfortable warm temperature, the waterfall grew bigger and bigger. At a certain point I’ve been impressed due to its height (look at the photos and compare one of the tall trees to the waterfall). Later, I could not see any more the top, even tough we were still in quite a distance! At the end of the hike, it got pretty humid and windy due to the downlift & spray of the falling water. Well, then I was going in bathing trousers to the base – the energy of the water drops was really amazing and the force of the winds changed from a nice breeze to such a strength I needed to go on hands and foot in order not to be blown down.
