The Blue Nile Falls
A short walk took us from the village Tis Abay over an old Portuguese bridge to some viewpoints overlooking the beautiful Blue Nile Falls.
There are some impressive waterfalls of 45m high and worth a visit.

The impressive Blue Nile Falls - Lake Tana (Ethiopia)

These are the mighty Blue Nile falls, one of the two sources of the river Nile which is the longest river in the world. The other branch, the white Nile comes from the great lakes of central Africa and joins this branch in the Capital of Sudan: Khartoum.
The blue Nile begins a few km up in lake Tana. The color is brown because we are in the middle of the rainy season. However we are lucky to see so much water because in dry season flow is really small. This branch of the river contributes to 85%of the water of the Nile that gets into Egypt.

Hiking to the BLUE NILE FALLS! (Northern Ethiopia is lush, green, and full of natural beauty) ????????
On my first day in Ethiopia, I flew to the northern city of Bahir Dar, which would be my launching point for exploring the incredible Blue Nile Falls, located a rough 45-minute drive from the city. Once there, I hired a local guide who led me through the muddy, impassable terrain towards some of the most incredible vantage points of the falls that I could have ever hoped to lay my eyes on. Northern Ethiopia is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise - a lush, green, mountainous landscape that relatively few tourists have ever set foot in. Travel in this part of Africa is difficult, but very rewarding; get here before everyone else does!
After the falls, I spent some time at the shore of Lake Tana in the city of Bahir Dar, then retreated for the evening at the excellent and highly recommended Delano Hotel.

The Blue Nile Falls (Ethiopia)
According to materials published by the Ethiopian Central Statistical Agency, the Blue Nile has a total length of 1,450 kilometres, of which 800 are inside Ethiopia. The Blue Nile flows generally south from Lake Tana and then west across Ethiopia and northwest into Sudan. Within 30 km (18.6 mi) of its source at Lake Tana, the river enters a canyon about 400 km long. This gorge is a tremendous obstacle for travel and communication from the north half of Ethiopia to the southern half. The power of the Blue Nile may best be appreciated at Tis Issat Falls, which are 45 m (148 ft) high, located about 40 km (25 mi) downstream of Lake Tana.
Although there are several feeder streams that flow into Lake Tana, the sacred source of the river is generally considered to be a small spring at Gish Abbai at an altitude of approximately 2,744 meters (9,003 ft). This stream, known as the Lesser Abay, flows north into Lake Tana. Other affluents of this lake include, in clockwise order from Gorgora, the Magech, the Northern Gumara, the Reb, the Southern Gumara and the Kilte. Lake Tana's outflow then flows some 30 kilometres before plunging over the Tis Issat Falls. The river then loops across northwest Ethiopia through a series of deep valleys and canyons into Sudan, by which point it is only known as the Blue Nile.
There are numerous tributaries of the Abay between Lake Tana and the Sudanese border. Those on its left bank, in downstream order, include the Wanqa River, the Bashilo River, the Walaqa River, the Wanchet River, the Jamma River, the Muger River, the Guder River, the Agwel River, the Nedi River, the Didessa River and the Dabus River. Those on the right side, also in downstream order, include the Handassa, Tul, Abaya, Sade, Tammi, Cha, Shita, Suha, Muga, Bachat, Katlan, Jiba, Chamoga, Weter and the Beles.[3]
After flowing past Er Roseires inside Sudan, and receiving the Dinder on its right bank at Dinder, the Blue Nile joins the White Nile at Khartoum and, as the River Nile, flows through Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea at Alexandria. The Blue Nile is so-called because during flood times the water current is so high, it changes colour to an almost black; since in the local Sudanese language the word for black is also used for the colour blue.
The distance from its source to its confluence is variously reported as 1,460 and 1,600 kilometres (907 and 1,000 miles). The uncertainty over its length might partially result from the fact that it flows through a virtually impenetrable gorges cut in the Ethiopian Highlands to a depth of some 1,500 metres (4950 feet)—a depth comparable to that of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in the United States.
The flow of the Blue Nile reaches maximum volume in the rainy season (from June to September), when it supplies about two thirds of the water of the Nile proper. The Blue Nile, along with that of the Atbara River to the north, which also flows out of the Ethiopian Highlands, were responsible for the annual Nile floods that contributed to the fertility of the Nile Valley and the consequent rise of ancient Egyptian civilisation and Egyptian Mythology. With the completion in 1970 of the Aswan High Dam in Egypt, the Nile floods ended.
The Blue Nile is vital to the livelihood of Egypt. Though shorter than the White Nile, 59% of the water that reaches Egypt originates from the Blue Nile branch of the great river; when combined with the Atbara River, which also has its source in the Ethiopian Highlands, the figure rises to 90% of the water and 96% of transported sediment. The river is also an important resource for Sudan, where the Roseires and Sennar dams produce 80% of the country's power. These dams also help irrigate the Gezira Plain, which is most famous for its high quality cotton. The region also produces wheat and animal feed crops. (wikipedia)

Natural wonders - Blue Nile Falls (Ethiopia)
Natural wonders - Blue Nile Falls
The Blue Nile Falls is a waterfall on the Blue Nile river in Ethiopia. It is known as Tis Abay in Amharic, meaning smoking water. It is situated on the upper course of the river, about 30 km downstream from the town of Bahir Dar and Lake Tana. The falls are considered one of Ethiopia's best known tourist attractions. The falls are estimated to be between 37 and 45 metres high, consisting of four streams that originally varied from a trickle in the dry season to over 400 metres wide in the rainy season. Regulation of Lake Tana now reduces the variation somewhat, and since 2003 a hydro-electric station has taken much of the flow out of the falls except during the rainy season. The Blue Nile Falls isolate the ecology of Lake Tana from the ecology of the rest of the Nile, and this isolation has played a role in the evolution of the endemic fauna of the lake.
