Nestled in the heart of the spa town of Jermuk, the magnificent Jermuk Waterfall stands as one of the country’s most picturesque natural attractions. Cascading dramatically from a height of approximately 68 meters, the waterfall enchants visitors with its power and beauty. It is considered the second highest waterfall in Armenia.
Often referred to as “Mermaid’s Hair” due to one interesting legend relating about the origin of the waterfall. A fascinating legend is associated with the waterfall’s name. According to the tale, a noble Armenian family once lived on the cliffs, and their beautiful daughter fell in love with a shepherd’s son. Every night, she would lower a long rope to help him climb up for a secret meeting. When her father discovered their love, he cursed her, saying: “If you meet him again, you will turn into a mermaid and never leave the water.” On their next meeting, the curse came true—the girl transformed into a mermaid, and her flowing hair became the cascading waterfall. This is why Jermuk Waterfall is sometimes called ‘Mermaid’s Hair’."
Easily accessible from the center of Jermuk, the waterfall is ideal for leisurely walks, photography, and peaceful moments in nature. The fresh mountain air, mineral-rich surroundings, and tranquil atmosphere perfectly complement the wellness character of the region.
A visit to Jermuk is incomplete without experiencing this natural wonder — a place where Armenia’s raw beauty reveals itself in its purest form.
