The legend of Dray Sap waterfall 

Legend has it that, once upon the time in the land of Dak Lak, the Serepok river was just a normal stream of water, flowing around the village. And then, on both sides of the river, a couple of boy and girl fell in love with each other, but their love was not only separated by the river but also banned by two families. Too miserable, on a quiet night, the couple together poured themselves into the water to stay together forever. At that moment, from where the couple ended their lives, the wind and waves raged that split the Serepok River into two branches, which later became known as the male river branch and the female river branch. The flow of the male tributary created the Dray Sap waterfall and the flow of the female river branch was the embodiment of the Dray Nur waterfall.
