About

The waterfall among the rocks in the village of Sündü in the Gobustan region fascinates everyone with its unique beauty. The surrounding trees, berry bushes, and steep rocks seem to add additional color to this 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. In the summer months, the area around Kirkhbulag, Soyudlu spring, Tandirnohur and Sündü waterfalls are full of tourists every day. One of the reasons for the large number of guests is the convenience of the roads and the proximity to Baku compared to other places.

A small, deep lake has formed where the waterfall flows.

Sündü (also called Syundi and Syundyu) is a village with an ancient history, located in the midst of fertile plateaus consisting of agricultural fields. The surrounding steep hills, rare waterfalls and springs gushing from their chests, and deep ravines covered with green are just some of the features of the wonderful nature of this village. In addition to the waterfall, Sündü village also has 32 springs, 2 kahriz, 2 water mills, a 100-year-old school, and a mosque dating back to 920.
