From the sound of a waterfall to the sound of a mountain river

The Kegetinsky Gorge attracts not only a waterfall, but also a mountain river. We had to descend on slippery ground, wet from melted snow. The river is narrow, but noisy, cold and fast, like all mountain rivers. There is a lot of vegetation around and, of course, stones.
