Dray Nur Waterfall is associated with touching legends explaining the name Wife Waterfall. Legend has it that, long ago, in this place, the Serepok River was just a winding stream in the middle of a thousand. Then, there was a couple living in the village who loved each other but could not escape the prohibition from the family. On a cold night, because they were so miserable, the couple jumped into the Serepok River to be together for the rest of their lives. At that time, the river also divided into two branches, bearing two names, Krong Ana River, giving birth to Dray Nur waterfall (Wife waterfall) and Krong No river, giving birth to Dray Sap waterfall (Chong waterfall).

The waterfall has a length of over 250m, a height of over 30m, and a width of about 150m, connecting the two provinces of Dak Lak and Dak Nong. Nature lovers can wander along the trails in the primeval forest, see the thousand-year-old stumps of trees or the roots that hug the large rocks. The million-year-old lava rocks in Dray Nur Waterfall have a prismatic shape quite similar to the stone platforms in the famous Ganh Da Dian scenic spot of Phu Yen.

But the most attractive is not admiring the waterfall but exploring and looking for thrills in the nearly 3,000m2 cave behind the waterfall. Looking at the powerful and rushing water curtain from above, many people shuddered. People can enter the interior of the water pouring down from side to side without getting wet. When standing from inside the cave looking out at the long walls of water surrounding the front, the dim light shone on the strangely shaped rocks. This is one of the different feelings that only Dray Nur can bring to visitors in the days of exploring the majestic Central Highlands, having traveled once is remembered, met once is love.
