Vodopády Satiny, Natural monument with waterfalls in Malenovice, Czech Republic

Vodopády Satiny is a protected natural monument in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, featuring a succession of small cascading waterfalls. The water flows through a gorge that stretches about one kilometer, carving out deep pools as it moves across the rocky terrain.

Vodopády Satiny is a natural monument in the cadastral territory of Malenovice, Frýdek-Místek District, Moravian-Silesian Region, managed by the AOPK ČR regional office of the Beskydy Protected Landscape Area administration. The protection covers the bed of the Satina stream below Lysá hora, a geological and geomorphological locality within the flysch Carpathians, together with the adjoining forest stands.

The name Satiny comes from the stream whose bed forms the monument; the main waterfall drops 1.7 metres at an elevation of 570 metres. The easiest approach starts at the spring and signpost called U korýtka, a name visitors see on trail markers in the forest above Malenovice.

The site is freely accessible all year round. The easiest approach to the waterfalls starts at the spring and signpost U korýtka. The main waterfall lies at an elevation of 570 m, so the streambed rocks are wet and slippery.

The stream bed of Satina below Lysá hora is one of the longest rock channels on the Czech side of the Carpathians, cut into Cretaceous sandstone and shale. The main waterfall drops 1.7 m at an elevation of 570 m, with an 80° incline and an average flow of 90 litres per second.
