Turovský vodopád
The Turovský vodopád waterfall, which is located approximately 1 km beyond the village of the same name, is sometimes also known by the names Padalo or Skalný vodopád. It falls from a height of 15 m on the course of a local stream. It is a true gem of the surroundings and only a few people know about it. It hides in a valley with the character of a canyon, in the Kremnické vrchy mountains, in the zvolenský district. Ask the locals how to get to it, they will certainly be happy to help you with navigation.
You will walk along one of two hiking trails leading from the village of Turová. One leads directly through the gorge, the other lines its upper edge. The route is not demanding, the village has installed directional signs and cleaned up the access. Children can also easily manage the walk to the waterfall. Once you are at the waterfall, it is worth going nearby to the second natural monument. It is the Turovský sopúch volcanic vent, meaning the naked throat of a former volcano. Right next to it you will also find an information board.
You can head to the waterfall at any time of the year. Basically, it does not dry up, but during the dry season, the view is not as magical as it is during snow melting or after heavy rains. In any case, you can try coming in both spring and summer and make up your own mind. After all, that is always best. Book accommodation near the Turovský vodopád waterfall, ideally right on the accommodation Turová website, or alternatively accommodation Zvolen. We wish you a pleasant stay and a great trip experience.
