Legend[ edit | edit source ]
An old legend says that the waterfall's name comes from the fact that a long time ago a bride fell from the steep cliffs in the area where the waterfall is located, and her veil got caught on the rocks. There, the wedding party stopped and started crying, thus forming the waterfall.
In reality, the name could be attributed to the shape of the waterfall which resembled a veil [ 1 ] .
