Vodopády svatého Wolfganga

Vodopády svatého Wolfganga, Granite waterfall in Vyssi Brod, Czech Republic.

Vodopády svatého Wolfganga are cascades on the Menší Vltavice, 1.5 km upstream from Vyšší Brod Monastery. The highest section drops about three metres over roughly eight metres of length; after some 20 metres comes an upper waterfall of two steps, the upper step nearly three metres high and very steep, with a left arm inclined over 60°. A second waterfall follows after 70 metres, and a wooden footbridge stands beneath its lower step.

The falls are named after Saint Wolfgang, a 10th-century Benedictine missionary and bishop of Regensburg, patron of Bavaria, shepherds, sculptors, boatmen, woodcutters, carpenters and unjustly imprisoned people. The name refers to the saint, not to a visit or a foundation event at the site.

The falls are named after Saint Wolfgang, a 10th-century Benedictine missionary and bishop of Regensburg, patron of Bavaria, shepherds, boatmen and carpenters. The yellow-marked Opatská stezka trail passes the falls, linking Vyšší Brod, Vyklestilka and Loučovice.

A yellow-marked hiking trail connects Vyssi Brod monastery directly to the waterfalls, requiring roughly a 1.5-kilometer walk from the town center. The paths can become slippery and wet, especially after rain or during damp seasons.

The water is acidic, with a pH of 6.6 to 6.8, and cold, near 0 °C in winter and about 10 °C at most in summer. Kingfishers, white-throated dippers and stone crayfish may be seen here.
