Waterfall location
The expanses of the Meleuzovsky district in Bashkortostan are covered by a national park, where the fantastic cascading Kuperlya waterfall is located. “Bashkiria” is the name of the national reserve, along which the valley of the Nugush river with the right-bank tributary of Cuperl, which feeds the waterfall of the same name, was spread.
A stunning natural object, formed in the upper reaches of the Nugush River, is adjacent to the picturesque karst bridge. A little higher than the isthmus is the popular tourist town - Nugush reservoir.
Karst bridge
In the upper river. Nugush cliff of a rocky gorge is blocked by a karst bridge, over which nature worked. The shape of the bridge resembles a twin stone arch. It rises over the gorge for two tens of meters and is a striking sight. The isthmus is thirty-five meters long. Of these, ten meters falls on a hanging segment.
A karst bridge was formed thanks to the Kuperlya River. Its flowing underground water, gradually washing out the rock, made its way, leaving a massive overlap over the gorge. For thousands of years they have destroyed the stone channel, expanding the cavity in it.
As a result, a unique stone bridge with arches was formed, which gave freedom to the waters of the Cooperl brook. From the karst bridge, a breathtaking panorama of the Nugush valley and the surrounding mountain ranges with snow-white slopes overgrown with dense forests opens.
Description of the Cuperl Waterfall

Over the relief with strong drops, very cold, crystal-clear waters of Cooperl Creek flow. Water foamy streams fall from several rocks, soaring up about 10 meters. The total height of the waterfall is equal to 15-20 meters.
