Ťažký vodopád, Mountain waterfall in High Tatras, Poland
The Ciężka Siklawa waterfall drops 70 meters through multiple cascades, creating water flows from the Wielki Staw Polski lake in the Tatra Mountains.
Mountain guides have been leading visitors to observe this natural water formation since the early 1800s, marking it as a significant mountaineering destination.
The name Ciężka Siklawa originates from the local mountain dialect, where 'siklawa' refers to a mountain waterfall in the Tatra region.
Visitors can reach the waterfall by following the marked trail from Palenica Białczańska parking lot, passing through Morskie Oko lake and continuing for 3 hours.
The waterfall's water volume changes dramatically throughout the seasons, reaching its maximum flow during spring snowmelt and after substantial rainfall periods.
