Tachovský vodopád, Natural monument in Troskovice, Czech Republic.
Description
Tachovský vodopád is a natural monument near Troskovice featuring cascades over tufa and quartz sandstone formations. The water has carved deep patterns into the rocky surface, creating small caves and perforations that shape the geological character.
History

Culture
Spring snowflakes grow near the waterfall and are protected plant species important to Czech natural conservation efforts. These rare plants show why locals value this place for preserving local nature.
Practical
The site sits in a forested area and is best visited during drier weather since rocks become slippery when wet. Sturdy footwear is recommended for safely navigating around the waterfall zone.
