The shape and shape of Afrineh waterfall is semicircular and has a large pool. For this reason, it should be considered one of the most special waterfalls in Lorestan. Contrary to its appearance, this waterfall does not fall down from a path, but finds several different ways to escape through the massive rocks and creates a spectacular view.

The beauty of the semicircular width of this waterfall exceeds its height and for this reason, among the waterfalls of Lorestan, it has been called the wide waterfall. This waterfall is the result of the rivers Afrineh and Cheshmak, which after falling from the huge rocks, merge with the Kashkan river.

8. Shui waterfall, a waterfall in Dezful and on the border of Lorestan

Shui waterfall is geographically located in Khuzestan province, but in terms of tourist attractions , it can be considered among the beauties of the common border of Khuzestan and Lorestan provinces; Because this waterfall is located on the border of Doroud with Dezful.

In fact, since the local people of Shui village speak Lori Bakhtiari language, Shui waterfall can be considered as one of the series of waterfalls in Lorestan province. On the other hand, this waterfall has refreshed the north of Khuzestan province and belongs to Shahyoun section of Dezful city.

But regardless of the geographical location, it is the beauty of the waterfall that is debatable.

Watching the waterfall show takes your mind off it and reminds you of the most famous waterfalls in the world.

Due to this amazing beauty, the show is known as Niagara in Iran. A height of 100 meters and a width of 40 meters puts you in front of a huge phenomenon in the Zagros Mountains that you will be fascinated to watch.

The show is the largest waterfall in the Middle East. The water of this waterfall is supplied from a cave that lies inside the mountain. This waterfall hangs from its shoulders like the disturbed silver hair of a mountain. This silver stream, in its path, greens the rock wall and flows into a pond at the bottom of the mountain.

The Dez River is the destination of the water flow of this tall waterfall, which eventually joins the Dez Dam Lake along with the flow of this river.

There is not much to say about the beauty and freshness of nature around the waterfall. In the plant texture of this nature, you can see fig, willow, hair, maple and oak trees and enjoy the greenery of the valleys of this mountainous region.

The second waterfall

Just a short distance from the tall waterfall, you will see another waterfall that looks very different from the main waterfall and the water flow, like the first waterfall, is not very wide. The second show or snake stone has a simpler appearance than the first waterfall and the presence of a small pool at the bottom makes it more attractive. The walk between the two waterfalls takes about 15 minutes.
