Catherine II herself admired the spectacular natural phenomenon in 1772. Since 1929, a hydroelectric power station has been built on the river. Since then, the free fall of water into the canyon filled with boulders has been carried out at a strictly allotted time during the summer months, as well as on New Year's Eve. The whole action is accompanied by a light and music show.
