Lúčanský vodopád, National nature monument and waterfall in Lucky village, Slovakia.
Lúčanský vodopád is a protected natural monument and waterfall cascade in the village of Ľúčky in northern Slovakia. The water flows over a travertine terrace down into smaller basins positioned near the local church.
The Slovakian government designated this waterfall as a protected natural monument in 1974. This early protection reflected growing efforts to preserve the country's natural water features.
The waterfall sits beside a spa village that has centered its identity around thermal springs and local wellness traditions. Both share roots in the same natural hot water sources that have drawn visitors for generations.
Access is through a small park with parking available directly in the village. The location is easy to reach when visiting the region north of Banská Bystrica.
The waterfall flows throughout the year because warm thermal springs beneath the surface prevent freezing. In winter, ice formations build up along the water in unusual patterns that transform the site's appearance.
