Obrovský vodopád

Obrovský vodopád is a waterfall in the High Tatras where water descends over multiple granite rock tiers, creating white water cascades. The waterfall cuts through steep mountain terrain in the eastern Carpathian range.

Local mountaineers opened trails to this waterfall in the early 1900s, making it reachable for visitors exploring the High Tatras. The marked paths established then became the main routes people use to visit the site today.

People have walked to this waterfall for generations, making it part of the local mountain culture and a destination where visitors connect with the high peaks. The place draws those seeking to experience the raw power of water flowing through alpine terrain.

A marked hiking path leads to the waterfall from the nearest parking area in the foothills. Spring and early summer offer the best views when snowmelt brings strong water flow.

The waterfall transforms dramatically with the seasons, flowing powerfully during spring melt and freezing into ice formations in winter. This seasonal shift creates a different spectacle depending on when you visit.
