Originally, the name of the waterfall comes from the word meaning Piso who had a knife, this is because of the swift water falling considered like blade with a sharp knife. Haha .. glance sure why we think name originated from the knife, why not be named according to the name of his village, well that's custom of Batak Karo highly viscous.
