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.

Personal tip from us

With small children pick this one rather than Kamieńczyk – the walk is short, with no chains or steps down a gorge.

Tips

  • Access is far easier than at Kamieńczyk and there are fewer people.
  • It combines well with a visit to Szklarska Poręba, which is on the way.
  • Payment is in PLN – bring cash.

Safety

  • The rocks around the waterfall are damp and slippery.
  • This is abroad – bring identification and check that your travel insurance is valid.
