The beautiful Belaya River roars here, polishing the polished stones of the canyon to a shine. We will stay here for the night. In the meantime, let's take a walk to the most beautiful and revered waterfalls of Rufabgo (the Evil Wizard), where we will admire the noisy waterfalls Cascade, Shoelace, and, of course, the tallest and most beautiful, Big Shoelace. They are especially beautiful after the rains, when streams of water rush noisily over the rocks, rushing down with a crash.
