Szklarka Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Karkonosze Mountains, Poland.

The Szklarka Waterfall cascades down 13.3 meters over granite rocks, forming a spiral pattern within the Szklarka Gorge at 520 meters elevation.

During the Middle Ages, the waterfall underwent modifications, and in 1868 an inn was built nearby, now known as Kochanówka hostel.

The waterfall carries a local legend connecting its formation to the Karkonosze mountains and a glazier's daughter named Szklarka.

Visitors can access the waterfall through three marked hiking trails, with parking available near Route 3 connecting Piechowice to Szklarska Poręba.

During winter months, the flowing water transforms into frozen cascades, creating different seasonal formations throughout the year.
