Honey waterfalls should not be licked - you will not feel the taste of Winnie the Pooh's favorite treat. They must be enjoyed. Their beauty, unusual view, fascinating landscape, which serves as a backdrop.
These waterfalls are called "honey", because a hundred years ago in the crevices of rocks lived wild bees. In the summer, the honeycomb under the onslaught of water was washed away, and honey streams flowed down the rocks. The water became sweet, and the people bathing in it, sticky. Today there are no bees - they could not stand the harsh winters.
