Novopacký vodopád, Natural waterfall monument in Vidochov, Czech Republic.

Novopacký vodopád is a gorge in the Sýkornice forest with two free-falling waterfalls on a right tributary of the Zlatnice stream. The upper waterfall drops about 4 m from an overhang up to 1.5 m deep, with a small rock bridge at its edge; the lower one, roughly 80 m downstream, falls about 8 m from an overhang up to 6 m deep. The incision is cut into red-brown Permian polymict sandstones, conglomerates and aleuropelites of the Semily Formation.

The gorge and its two waterfalls were declared a protected natural formation by the Jičín district national committee in 1980 and re-declared by the Jičín district office in 1999. Protection covers the canyon cut into Permian red-brown sandstones, conglomerates and aleuropelites of the Semily Formation, where an iron-cemented ledge resisted erosion and formed the falls. The site lies within the Sýkornice nature park, declared in 1984 and covering 252.2 hectares.

The waterfalls lie in the Sýkornice Nature Park, declared in 1984 and covering 252.2 hectares, where a nature trail runs through the forest. The upper waterfall has a small rock bridge on its edge, and a bench below the lower one faces the fall.

Access is via forest paths from the red trail between Nová Paka and Stupná, or the blue trail from Vrchovina; you can also walk up the stream valley from near Stupná. Two information boards stand at the monument, and a bench facing the lower waterfall offers a rest. Water flow is lowest outside spring.

The waterfalls owe their existence to an iron-reinforced ledge in the rock that resisted erosion while the softer surrounding layers wore away. The upper fall drops about 4 m over an overhang up to 1.5 m deep, with a small rock bridge formed on its edge.
