Tipova Waterfall
Waterfalls in the gorges near the Nistru, at Țipova, most accessible in winter
A hike through the gorges near the Nistru, towards the four waterfalls
Worth it if you like hiking, especially in winter, when all the waterfalls can be reached. Bring walking sticks and check first whether the water is running, one review says it has dried up.
A series of waterfalls in the gorges near the Nistru, at Țipova, about 68 km in a straight line from Chișinău. One hiker describes four waterfalls spread across the gorges and says the best time to see them all is winter, when the small streams freeze and you can walk to the most distant ones. The same hiker strongly recommends walking sticks, which help a great deal on the rocky paths. Another visitor says the way there is not difficult and feels like a mountain hike, with its own microclimate and flora. The route is long, though: one review admits not completing it. From the same review comes the warning that matters most: the waterfall is said to have dried up, although the visit was still a good experience. Google marks the place as suited to children and allows dogs, but shows no opening hours.
≈ 8 km round trip to the 10-15 m Răut waterfalls; steep sections near the water, waymarked from km 2.

“A marvelous serie of cascades spread across the gorges nearby Nistru river. It is best to visit them in winter when small rivers are covered with ice. This enables walking over to the most distant places and visit all 4 waterfalls. Travellers should strongly consider carrying sticks which greatly facilities walking on rugged rocky paths of Țipova Valleys.”
