Siklawica, Mountain waterfall in Dolina Strążyska, Poland
Description
Siklawica is a waterfall in Dolina Strążyska that drops through two distinct sections of rocky terrain. The water flows through the ravine in separate stages, creating a dramatic cascade over the stone formations.
History
The waterfall sits along an old mountain path that once connected Zakopane to Giewont through the Tatra range. This route served as an important way for travelers and traders moving through the mountains.
Culture
Local mountaineers incorporated the term siklawa into Polish language to describe mountain waterfalls, reflecting the regional terminology.
Practical
The path to the waterfall takes you along a marked trail through the ravine and requires good footing over rocky ground. Wear shoes with good grip and watch for slippery spots, especially where water flows over the stones.
Did you know?
The flow varies greatly depending on rainfall, sometimes reducing to a trickle during dry periods. Visiting after rain shows the waterfall at its best, though the gorge itself remains worth exploring any time of year.
