Unlike other waterfalls in this plateau, Dray Nur waterfall is associated with two different legends, with two completely different interpretations of the name. With the explanation of Dray Nur - meaning female waterfall, wife waterfall - waterfall is associated with the love "Romeo and Juliet" of the mountains.

The story goes that, once upon a time, there was a couple in two different villages who loved each other, but because the two villages had conflicts with each other, they found all sorts of ways to prevent them. Not receiving the sympathy of the villagers, unable to reconcile the conflict between the two villages, on a moonlit night, both them jumped into the river to spend all life together. Angered by the selfishness of the villagers leading to the wrong decision of the young couple, there was a storm in the sky, the water billowed up, dividing the river into two branches, separating the paths of the two clans.

Another legend originates from the cave behind the waterfall, which is said to be the residence of King Thuy Te. The king of the country has a son named Nur, the prince is very handsome and loves to travel and sightsee. One day, he met two princesses, the children of the king of the land he was passing. The two girls were very beautiful, but because their father died early, life became poor. Loving the two girls who worked hard, he followed them to home, made a blessing to fill the rice bowl in the house, and lived happily each other.

After a while, he missed his father, wanted to go back to the aquarium to visit him. But his wives were afraid that if their husband left, it would take a long time, even if he didn't return, they tried all ways to keep him, one step not leaving. There was no other way, he had to transform into a golden mole, cross the water curtain to visit his father. The wives kept waiting outside, waiting forever,

Since then, the people here call this waterfall Dray Nur, which means golden mole waterfall. The two legends are different, but both are the same point is that the streams of water rushing from the vertical cliff, breaking drop by drop, splashing each other, pushing each other they are like the tears.

In addition, the waterfall is special because behind the falling water there is a large cave. So one can go inside of the water curtain from side to side without getting wet. When standing from inside the cave overlooking the long walls of water in the front, the dim light illuminates the strangely shaped rocks. This is one of the different feelings that only Dray Nur can bring to visitors in the days of discovering the majestic Central Highlands.
