Car Waterfall
Car şəlaləsi
A waterfall in a wooded valley above Car village, north of Zaqatala; the one-hour walk along the stream is the most popular short hike in the area.
Car village lies about 4 km northeast of Zaqatala at the foot of the mountains. It is an old Avar village with stone houses and a mosque. From the village, follow the stream valley upward past walnut and chestnut groves and small wooden bridges. In about an hour you reach the waterfall in the valley. In summer, locals often picnic and barbecue by the stream. The path is dirt and gravel and can be slippery after rain, so wear non-slip shoes. Entry is free. A taxi from Zaqatala to the village entrance takes about 10 minutes, or you can ask your guesthouse to arrange a guide.
