Domyshev waterfall

There are two ways to get to Domyshev waterfall: you can either walk for one week or you can take an hour long helicopter lift. The waterfall is interesting because of the surrounding legend of a hidden gold mine. It was named after its first and only discoverer - escaped state convict Dmitriy Dyomin. Local people have been passing on the legend of this Siberian Eldorado from lip to lip for about 150 years, but still nobody was lucky enough to find it. It is known that this vein is located under the waterfall in a place that is hard to reach. Now geologists believe that there are several exits to this rich gold vein. Several separate outcomes were found by gold prospectors at different time. Gold from the vein can be found in quite big nuggets in holes under the waterfalls and boulders.
