The legend story of Datanla waterfall
Datanla used to be
called “Da Tam N’nha” by the native people. The Kho who had been living there
told that: in the old time, fairies usually came there to take a bath. But
people didn’t know that there was a stream under the leaves there. So, when
native people discovered the water under the leaves”. Later, the word “Da Tam
N’nha’ was pronounced to “Datania” and then changed to “Datanla”. It has become
the official name until now.
At the foot of the waterfall, Datanla stream flows slowly
through cliffs then fflow onto a deep hole called deadly abyss located between
two vertical cliffs with the height of over 40m. Tourist can walk down to the
fall or they can take the roller-coaster to the site.
In recent years, Datanla tourist site has exploited some more
adventure activities for visitor trying such as climb the cliff, discover the
forest and go along the stream to come to Prenn bridge.
At the entrance of the
waterfall, we can see Datanla restaurant, which was built in the form of a
still-house with thatched roof amidst the picturesque setting. The restaurant
has a capacity of 150 seats, serving all day with breakfast, lunch and dinner
for tourist
In 1998, Datanla waterfall was
recognized as a Cultural historical heritage
