Rešovské vodopády, Natural cascade waterfall system in Hanušovice Highlands, Czech Republic.
Rešovské vodopády is a series of waterfalls and cascades on the upper course of the Huntava stream, about 1.5 km from the village of Rešov in the Nízký Jeseník. The stream cuts through a deep, narrow canyon, and a footpath with steps, small bridges and railings runs alongside the falls.
The site was first protected in 1966 as a national nature monument, and in 2013 it was redesignated a national nature reserve covering 71.6 hectares. The reserve lies on the upper course of the Huntava near Rešov and protects the canyon's fir-beech forest and moss communities.
The name comes from Rešov, the village about 1.5 km away, and the falls lie on the upper course of the Huntava. The site is reached on foot by marked trails from Horní Město, Rešov, Rýmařov, Ruda and Sovinec Castle, and the falls are listed in the guide "The Most Beautiful Waterfalls of the Czech Republic" on page 252.
A footpath runs along the Huntava through the gorge, with steps, small bridges and railings at the dangerous spots. The route is not passable for wheelchairs or people with limited mobility. Trails reach the falls from Rešov, Horní Město, Rýmařov, Ruda and Sovinec Castle.
The moss communities on shaded cliffs, wet boulders and fallen trunks are of great scientific importance, and the site is one of the stops in the guide "The Most Beautiful Waterfalls of the Czech Republic" (page 252).
