The Kinzelyuk Waterfall (Кинзелюкский водопад (Russian)) is probably the highest waterfall in Russia, after the elusive Talnikovy Waterfall (which may not exist any more).[1] In 1989, a team led by Petro Kravchuk estimated its height to be 328 meters.[1]
The waterfall is located in the eastern part of the Kuraginsky District, near the border with the Irkutsk Oblast, in the sparsely populated region of Siberia known as Tofalaria.[2]
The stream flows out of the Lake Kinzelyuk, which occupies the summit of the Kinzelyuk Mountain, with a height of 1601 meters. The water falls into the small Lower Kinzelyuk Lake, which feeds the Kinzelyuk River, a tributary of the Kizir River.[3]
The Kinzelyuk Mountain is part of the Kinzelyuk Ridge, the westernmost spur of the Agulski Belki mountains. The entire mountainous region is known as the Eastern Sayan Mountains.
