high water best months to go

From about 0.57 m³/s in the lowest month to 36 m³/s in the highest. Best months to go, with plenty of water and pleasant days: from January to April.

Estimate: the timing comes from rain, snowmelt and evaporation (NASA POWER, 1991–2020); the amounts from the river model of HydroATLAS (WaterGAP, 1971–2000). Dams upstream can change the real flow.

The river through the falls

The line follows the river as mapped in OpenStreetMap; heights from the 30 m Copernicus model, which smooths narrow drops — the published height of the falls is the one above.

The valley below the falls

Around the falls the river drops 21 m in 3.6 km. Here the river runs about 68 m below the lower rim of its valley.
