Abstract: The Vietnamese country is rich in geological heritages (GH); they are scarcely distributed in almost all provinces, from the mainland to islands, among them there is the Trinh Nữ Waterfall (W) in Đắk Nông Province (Tây Nguyên Highland). The investment for rising the cultural and spiritual life of ethnic minorities in Tây Nguyên is shown due concern by the Vietnamese government, among that there is the development of touristic areas, places of scenic beauty, together with the protection of environment. The Trinh Nữ W. area has favourable conditions of physical geography and original geological formations that create an assemblage of wonderful and poetic waterfalls, caves, rocks and primetive forests. This article will introduce the potential heritage and development orientation of the Trinh Nữ W. area.
