Some more Corona lockdown post processing.
September 9th 2013. 110m high Ouzoud Waterfalls, or Cascades d'Ouzoud, some 160km east of Marrakech. If you want to have some fun on some fantastic mountain roads, approach it from the north! It will take one to two hours extra to get there but it is worth it.

September 10th 2013. Hotel right next tot the waterfalls. You could see and hear the waterfall right from the hotelroom window. Lots of restaurants too.
Ouzoud Waterfalls (French: Cascades d'Ouzoud) (110 m high) are located near the Grand Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt, in the province of Azilal, 150 km northeast of Marrakech, in Morocco.
Ouzoud means "the act of grinding grain" in Berber. This seems to be confirmed by the frequent mills in the region.
The bottom of the falls is accessible through a shaded path of olive trees. At the summit of the falls, there are a dozen old small mills that are still in use. One can also follow a narrow and difficult track leading to the road of Beni Mellal. While descending the gorges from the "wadi el-Abid" in a canyon sometimes one does not distinguish the bottom which is nearly 600 metres down.
It is the most visited site of the region. In the vicinity, green valleys, mills, orchards and a superb circuit of the gorges of the El Abid River (in Arabic, "Slaves' River" ) are found. Many local and national associations lead projects to protect and preserve the site.

Located in the western High Atlas mountains, the Ouzoud falls (Cascades D'ouzoud) are the tallest waterfalls in Morocco.
The falls comprise a number of tributaries that cut through the red sandstone cliffs then drop 110m into the El-Abid river gorge.

Ouzoud waterfall
So pity, less water, due 7 years no rain!
Iphone 14 pro max, live mode. No ND filter necessery.
El río Oued Ouzoud tiene una caída de 110 m en tres pisos de cascadas en el cañón. De marzo a junio es la temporada más indicada para visitar las cascadas por el agua que en ese momento cae, si bien la afluencia de turismo es mayor si cabe. Las cascadas d'Ouzoud se encuentran a unos 170 km al NE de Marrakech. Uno de los grandes problemas de la zona es la canalización de la basura. Mejor no pensarlo!
El camino a las Cascadas, repleto de tenderetes de recuerdos y de cafés, se ha convertido en un santuario del turismo.
