About the trip

The second of the famous pair of Polish Krkonoše waterfalls, markedly more accessible and quieter than Kamieńczyk. It lies in beech woodland inside the Karkonoski Park Narodowy and a short, comfortable path leads to it from the roadside car park – manageable even for a family with small children.
