The first visitors ware amazed by the beauty and the resemblance of the waterfall with their home land - Scotland (Caledonia is ancient Latin name of Scotland). The water of the waterfall falls vertically from a height of 12 m. The visitor may visit the area using the roadway towards the waterfall or following nature trail on foot leading to it near Psilo Dendro (see parking coordinates).
