Located approximately 25 kilometers from Cành Nàng Town (Bá Thước District, Thanh Hóa Province), Hiêu Waterfall is a prominent natural destination in Cổ Lũng Commune. The waterfall not only offers pristine beauty but also conceals a unique and fascinating phenomenon – the "petrification" effect. Trees and objects within the waterfall’s current are transformed into stone due to the water's high limestone content. This extraordinary occurrence results in clear, sparkling waters set against a stunning natural backdrop, enhancing the mystical allure of Hiêu Waterfall and drawing visitors in.

The waters of Hiêu Waterfall originate from a limestone cave in the Pù Luông - Cúc Phương mountain range, an area renowned for its majestic limestone peaks and rich biodiversity. The waterfall flows year-round, sustained by the water from the limestone mountains, which help it remain abundant regardless of the season. During the rainy season, the waterfall becomes more powerful, turning a milky white as the limestone erodes, creating a turbulent, frothy cascade. Conversely, on calm, windless days, the stream becomes serene and crystal-clear, offering a peaceful and refreshing experience for visitors.

Hiêu Waterfall in Thanh Hóa is renowned for its picturesque beauty and crystal-clear, refreshing waters.

The waterfall stretches approximately 800 meters, cascading down in multiple tiers. When the water reaches mid-mountain, it splits into two smaller streams before converging below, forming a natural, cool "swimming pool" – a perfect resting spot for visitors. Additionally, the area surrounding the waterfall is home to numerous mysterious caves and a unique water conduit system created by the local people for irrigation purposes.

Hiêu Waterfall is not only an ideal destination for nature lovers but also attracts those passionate about exploring local culture. Visitors can learn about the lifestyle and traditions of the people of Cổ Lũng, admire the water irrigation system flowing from above to the terraced fields, or simply enjoy the fresh air while immersing themselves in the soothing sound of the waterfall and the vast, tranquil ambiance of the surrounding mountains and forests.

Hiêu Waterfall attracts nature enthusiasts with its pristine beauty and many mysteries. 

Recognized as a provincial scenic site in 2006, the waterfall has since been part of a development plan to harness its potential for tourism. The province has strategically planned the Hiêu Waterfall area, with the goal of transforming it into an eco-tourism destination that combines relaxation, nature exploration, and cultural experiences, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the beauty of Thanh Hóa.
