Loučská kaskáda, Cascade waterfall in Slavkov, Czech Republic.
Description
The Loučská kaskáda is a waterfall near Slavkov that drops about 3.5 meters (11 feet) over a series of natural stone steps, forming small pools at each level. The water flows through multiple tiers to create a stepped cascade effect.
History
The waterfall area was shaped by natural erosion over thousands of years, gradually carving the stepped stone formation. Archaeological finds in the area indicate that people have been present in this region for several millennia.
Culture

Practical
