Skala Waterfall is one of the most atmospheric and wild places in the vicinity of the village of Kapnistavi, Khelvachauri Municipality, Adjara. A high, thin stream of water falls from a steep gorge, making its way through moss-covered rocks and vines.

The path to the waterfall goes through dense vegetation and wet stones, creating a feeling of a real adventure. The place is not equipped, which only enhances its pristine charm - people come here not for comfort, but for impressions.

At the foot of the waterfall you can find fallen tree trunks and snags, which, combined with the noise of water and coolness, create a truly mysterious atmosphere. This is a location that will be appreciated by lovers of nature, solitude and hidden corners of Georgia.

This waterfall is one of many cascades in Adjara. There are more than a dozen of them in the region, all of which are described in detail in the guide to 11 waterfalls of Adjara.
