Wodospad Szklarki

Waterfall Szklarska Poręba, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

What to expect

Wodospad Szklarki is the second-highest waterfall in the Polish Karkonosze mountains, with a height of 13.3 meters. It is situated at an altitude of 525 meters above sea level and features a wide cascade that narrows and spirals downwards, creating a whirlpool. The waterfall and its surroundings are part of the Karkonosze National Park and are accessible via a wide path that leads to a viewing platform. The area is also home to marmits, which are depressions in the rock floor formed by erosion. The waterfall has been a popular tourist attraction since the 19th century and is suitable for visitors with disabilities. There are also nearby hiking trails, including the Okrężny trail around Szklarska Poręba and the trail from Piechowice to the PTTK 'Pod Łabskim Szczytem' shelter
