The legend story of
Elephant waterfall
There has been a legend about this fall, as
followed:
In the old time, wild animals love Ms.
Biang, a nice daughter of Sre tribes chieftain, very much. When hearing that
Ms. Biang was going to marry Mr.Lang – a good chieftain of Lach tribe, the
whole flock of elephant was very pleased. They quickly came to attend the
wedding. Unfortunately, when arriving current Elephant waterfall, they heard
that Ms. Biang and Mr. Lang had died before they got married. Those elephants
cried and screamed a lot. After a few day, they died and fossilized at the foot
of the fall. Because of missing the elephants, The God of Langbiang Moutain
cried a lot during many days. His tear mixed with the stream to console dead
elephants. Since then, this place has had the name “Elephant waterfall”. Around
the waterfall, we can see the primitive forests with the interesting caves and
the ancient-trees.
In 2001, elephant
waterfall was recognized as a National – level beauty – spots.
