Waterfalls Liptovský Mikuláš - Ploštín

Less than 6 km above the well-known Liptov village of Bobrovec, you will find a popular spot among local residents, cyclists, and runners. In winter, you can even reach Poľovníkov vodopád on cross-country skis. Although the trails are not mechanically groomed, local enthusiasts keep a beaten track open. This easy walk is suitable for young and old alike, younger or older, and thanks to a new asphalt road, for families with strollers.

The spacious village of Bobrovec is located just a few minutes by car or bus from the town of Liptovský Mikuláš. From Bobrovec, you can comfortably reach Bobrovecká dolina on foot, by bicycle, or by car, which you can leave at the free parking lot in Bobrovecká Vápenica. Others can use the bus service, which will take you to the village of Jalovec, approximately 2 km above Bobrovec, and continue your half-day hike on foot.

From the aforementioned Bobrovecká Vápenica, a renovated asphalt road with a gentle incline leads to the waterfall, which is also known as Poľovnícky vodopád or Bobrovecký vodopád. Approximately halfway along the route, at the edge of the forest, the ascent becomes gentler or almost flat. Initially, majestic peaks of the Západné Tatry rise before you, such as Babky or Sivý vrch. Later along the way, you can enjoy nearby meadows, pastures, and, with good visibility, a view of the Vodná nádrž Liptovská Mara.

After about three quarters of an hour, you will arrive at your destination. The waterfall is located less than 100 m from the road. You do not have to worry about missing this natural beauty. In front of the waterfall stands a hunting cabin that welcomes you to this sought-after attraction with its motto "Hore zdar!". The approach to the waterfall has an uphill character, but your reward will be the Stará voda stream falling from a height of 12 m. A small pool has formed beneath the rocky cliff down which the waterfall flows. Although the icy water may initially deter you, believe that after a walk, especially on hot summer days, a quick dip is a great refreshment. The braver ones can enjoy the power of a mountain shower directly under the waterfall. In winter, the swift flow of water turns into a massive icefall. The snow-covered and frozen surrounding nature holds a unique charm. So do not forget to bring a sled for your walk, which you will especially use on the return trip and the gentle descent back to Bobrovecká Vápenica.

Cyclists can continue along a popular cycling route that will take you all the way to the village of Liptovské Matiašovce. Hikers on foot will return along the same route. Halfway between Bobrovecká Vápenica and the village of Bobrovec stands the traditional Salaš Pastierska. Stop for a moment and, in addition to traditional products such as cheeses, bryndza (sheep milk cheese), or žinčica (boiled sheep whey), enjoy the peaceful nature. Right above Bobrovec, you can stop by a small but popular water reservoir. Originally, the reservoir served to irrigate the surrounding fields. The Bejvoč water reservoir, as the locals nickname it, has been used for swimming for a few decades, although bathing is at your own risk. Rich greenery and the murmur of the mountain Jalovecký potok, which is the source of clean and refreshing water in the reservoir, predestine this place for relaxation and rest.

If natural water does not appeal to you and you would rather enjoy thermal springs, visit the most famous water park, Tatralandia, located less than 10 minutes by car from Bobrovec. A multitude of pools and water attractions guarantee a well-spent day. For adrenaline enthusiasts, we have an interesting tip: try flying in the wind tunnel at Hurricane Factory Tatralandia, located right next to the water park. Families with children can look forward to ZOOKONTAKT, which guarantees that you will not be bored here.

Vajskovský vodopád falls along the flow of the Vajskovský potok stream, which flows through one of the most beautiful valleys of the Nízke Tatry mountains. That is Vajskovská dolina. It offers many attractive options for hiking, cycling, boating on the lake, and beautiful walks through the quiet forest. One such walk will lead you to the 9 m high Vajskovský vodopád, which is located at an altitude of 1,200 m above sea level. The valley is attractive throughout the entire year, and its advantage is that it is not overly crowded with tourists, as it lies off the main tourist routes.

The waterfall is magnificent in every season; however, like any other, it is most striking during the period after heavy rains and when snow melts. What is characteristic of it? Veils of water falling from a height, their roar, and beautiful, in some periods even wild, vegetation. The pristine nature of the gorgeous Vajskovská dolina valley protects and hides it well. You will find it at its very end. While walking through the valley, make some natural noise, as bears occur in large numbers in these places. In fact, the first chamois were released here in the past, relocated from the Vysoké Tatry mountains.

You can reach the waterfall from the village of Dolná Lehota. From there, your steps will lead along a 13.5 km long hiking trail that ends right at Vajskovský vodopád. It involves walking along an asphalt road, which you will leave approximately 1.5 km from the waterfall. From there, you will continue through a small forest and a meadow. Whether you go on foot or pedal on a bicycle is entirely up to you. Given the terrain, the hike is classified as easy. And we certainly recommend completing it in winter as well, when the waterfall offers a beautiful icy view.

Please note that due to moving within the Národný park Nízke Tatry, it is forbidden to make fires, camp, or pick forest berries. Leave those for the animals and simply look all around at what our beautiful Mother Nature offers you. Breathe the fresh air, enjoy the silence and the sounds of the forest. The entire area is beautiful, so it would be a shame to visit for just one day. Find suitable accommodation near Vajskovský vodopád, for example on the page accommodation Dolná Lehota or accommodation Krpáčovo, and plan several trips. Take your family or friends with you and experience a real adventure.

Lúčanský vodopád is located in the village of the same name, Lúčky, in the Liptov region, in the Ružomberok district. This impressive watercourse is the pride of the village and attracts tourists from far and wide. It is accessible by car, which is why it is frequently visited by families with children.

With its height of 13 meters, Lúčanský vodopád has been declared a national natural monument. It is cascading in nature, and it is fed by the Lúčianka stream, also called Teplianka. Although this stream is not particularly extraordinary, during the snowmelt period or heavy rainfall, it brings so much water that the roar of the waterfall can be heard from afar.

By Lúčanský vodopád, you will find a smaller park with benches for sitting and resting. If you want to view the waterfall from all sides, take the stairs leading along the water, and in addition to the views, you will also discover an educational trail. It is short, but you will learn interesting facts about the surrounding fauna and flora here. If this trip seems too short for you, we recommend visiting the nearby Diviačia obora (Wild Boar Enclosure). In the spring, you can see cute little striped wild boar piglets here.

Not far from Lúčanský vodopád, there are also a few restaurants and local pubs at your disposal, where you can refresh yourself and taste local specialties. Do not forget to try korbáčiky (cheese strings) and spa wafers here. You can also take your children to a small village playground.

Ráztocký vodopád waterfall is located in Kvačianska dolina, right in the heart of this popular Liptov nature reserve. It is situated at an altitude of 995 m above sea level, and the height of the waterfall itself is almost 10 m. Its surroundings consist of a rocky gorge that hides it from the curious eyes of visitors, prompting you to come closer to fully enjoy its beauty. Its vicinity has become home to many protected species of animals and plants. The hike to the waterfall can easily be managed by children and seniors alike.

Visitors choose it as a hiking destination all year round. In the hot summer, they admire the surrounding beautiful vegetation and find refreshment near it. Cold falling water combined with the climate created by the surrounding forests is a necessary cure for our organism that you will never find in the hot concrete streets of the city. In winter, the waterfall is frozen and creates a beautiful ice cascade.

The waterfall is located near the spot where Ráztocká dolina opens into Kvačianska dolina. Kvačianska dolina is accessible from the village of Huty as well as from the village of Veľké Borové. Heading from the popular attraction Vodné mlyny Oblazy, a forest trail interwoven with tree roots will lead you to Ráztocký vodopád. Be careful when climbing the ladder to the top of the waterfall. The falling water wets it significantly, making it quite slippery. From the waterfall, it is also possible to continue further to the settlement of Jóbova Ráztoka.

In spring, when the water flow is at its peak, the waterfall presents itself in all its beauty. However, a no less impressive experience awaits you during the rest of the year. So, all that's left is to pack up and set off on a hike. Visit the page accommodation Huty, accommodation Veľké Borové, or accommodation Kvačany to book the best accommodation near Ráztocký vodopád. Come relax in the heart of enchanting Liptov nature. Your stay will charge you with necessary energy, helping you tackle everyday challenges with ease.
