In Sakhalin there is a special place, isolated natural area where the calm is only shattered by the sounds of waves and seagulls. This place is Tikhaya (Silent) Bay. Incomparable silence, amazing views delighting people’s eyes –it’s a unique natural place carefully hidden from winds and typhoons, located in Makarov district, 130 kilometers away from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
A short way off there’s Klokovskiy Waterfall. Its height is about 48 meters, it has three levels but it’s seen as almost single water stream which flares in the bottom. With that the visible part of the waterfall is only 35 meters, its high level is hidden behind branchy trees. This waterfall is located at the nameless creek, not far from Klokovskiy Cape – and that’s where its name was derived from.
