1. Legend of Dray Sap waterfall
The cascading waterfall pours from a height of over 20m and stretches impressively for 100m, creating shimmering white patches reminiscent of smoke, appearing truly dazzling and mystical. And the name Dray Sap originates from the Ede language, meaning smoke.
According to ancient legend, during this era, the Serepok River was merely a small stream flowing around the village, serving as the boundary dividing two small villages here. Within the village, a young couple deeply in love found themselves separated not only by geography but also by family restrictions.
