Despite the fact that the Novosibirsk region is almost continuous plains, there are also waterfalls. Of course, they cannot be compared with the splendor of natural waterfalls in Karelia and Altai, but they are also spectacular and unique in their own way. Most of them are the result of human activities. These natural attractions are concentrated in several districts - Iskitimsky, Toguchinsky, Maslyaninsky.
Unfortunately, there is very little information about the Novosibirsk waterfalls in the literature, so only local residents living nearby and a few tourists know about them. At the same time, there are several waterfalls, the fame of which goes far beyond the boundaries of the districts, and vacationers and travelers from all over the region flock to them. Among them are Buchilovsky, Belovsky, Karpysaksky, Suenginsky.
