Vodopád Bystré, Protected waterfall in Detva District, Slovakia.
The 23-meter waterfall cascades over black andesite rocks, creating multiple streams that flow down through the forested slopes of Poľana mountain range.
The waterfall formation occurred 13.5 million years ago through volcanic processes when lava solidified into distinct black andesite blocks and stone structures.
The waterfall stands within the Poľana mountain range, which maintains natural ecosystems and geological features central to Slovakia's environmental conservation efforts.
Visitors can reach the waterfall through a 3-kilometer educational trail from Hriňová or take a 30-minute walk from the Poľana Cottage parking area.
The water stream splits into several channels as it descends over volcanic rock formations, resulting in different flow patterns throughout the seasons.
