Waterfalls Podbiel

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.

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.
