Waterfalls in Modřanská rokle

The waterfall in this protected nature reserve drops about 2.3 meters (7.5 feet) as it flows through a rocky gorge. Dense vegetation lines the ravine, creating a confined space where the water cascades and collects in a small pool below.

The territory containing this gorge came under the control of Zbraslav monastery in 1621 after being taken from the Stern von Hirschfeld family. The monastery held influence over the area for centuries afterward.

The waterfall draws locals and visitors who walk the surrounding trails to spend time among the rocks and water. It has become a natural gathering spot where people come to experience the landscape and enjoy outdoor time near the city.

Multiple marked trails lead to and through the gorge, making navigation straightforward for visitors of different abilities. Parking areas are located near the main trail entrances, so you can start your walk without searching far.

The gorge walls display exposed rock layers from the Proterozoic age, visible as bands of greywacke running through the stone. These geological formations give the site added value for anyone curious about how the landscape was shaped over time.
