Jermuk Waterfall

Jermuk Waterfall, also known as Mermaid's Hair, is one of Armenia's most beautiful waterfalls and is located in the city of Jermuk in Vayots Dzor. Its second name comes from a legend. A noble Armenian family once lived on the cliffs, and their beautiful daughter fell in love with a shepherd's son. Every night she lowered a long rope so that he could climb up to meet her in secret. When her father learned of their love, he cursed her: if she met the young man again, she would turn into a mermaid and never leave the water. At their next meeting the curse came true, and her flowing hair became the waterfall. Travellers come to Jermuk to see the waterfall behind this story.
