Sundu Waterfall in Sündü, Azerbaijan

The waterfall among the rocks in the village of Sündü in the Gobustan region fascinates everyone with its unique beauty.

To see this mysterious beauty, you need to go south to the village of Sündü, located 16 kilometers from the center of Gobustan, park your car on the mountain and walk up the slightly steep road.

The surrounding steep hills, rare waterfalls and springs gushing from their chests, and deep ravines covered wi
