It is located in the cadastre of the town of Ružomberok, in the settlement of Podsuchá, in the side valley of Vyšný Brankov, in the Žilinský kraj. Towering above it is the peak Veľký Brankov, after which the waterfall is also named. It is situated at an altitude of 775–830 m a. s. l. It drops from Kurucká skala, a rock formation composed of dolomite. Since 1980, it has been a national natural monument located in the Národný park Nízke Tatry. The area of the entire Národná prírodná rezervácia Brankovský vodopád nature reserve covers 27.71 ha.

The waterfall was formed thanks to a mountain stream falling over a limestone rock step. The water has a stable flow rate of 3 l/s. The wall down which the waterfall flows is slightly broken up, which is why various ledges and cascades occur here. The waterfall is hidden in the valley, but the route to it is easy.

The lower part of the waterfall consists of a beautiful small lake into which the cold, clear water of the Suchá Belá stream flows. When you get above the waterfall, you will discover the origin of its name. A rock window is located there. You reach it via a ladder, but be careful. The splashing water tends to wet it, making it quite slippery. During the walk through the 3.5 km long gorge, many other waterfalls and small lakes can be found along the course of the stream.

If you want to see it, you must visit Malá Studená dolina. It is located near the well-known Zamkovského chata, at an altitude of 1,330 m above sea level.

It was created by Studený potok in the ravine of Malý Studený potok. It belongs to the group of Vodopády Studeného potoka, but since it is located somewhat further from the others and has a unique appearance and size, it is often viewed separately.

To be in harmony with nature and your own thoughts for a moment? In that case, you are in the right place in the Tatras. We recommend booking accommodation near one of the starting points for the routes to Obrovský vodopád and enjoying a great experience hiking to it.

Nálepkove vodopády represent a system of waterfalls in Zejmarská roklina gorge in the southern part of Slovenský raj. The waterfall system is about 22 meters high, with the tallest of them estimated at 6 meters. The beauty of Nálepkovy vodopády stands out most during the spring thaw or after heavy rains. In winter, on the other hand, the waterfalls freeze, creating beautiful icefalls.

Zejmarská roklina, with a length of 800 meters, is the shortest gorge in Slovenský raj, but at the same time, it is one of the most beautiful and less demanding to cross. Nevertheless, you need to account for everything typical of this area, metal footpegs, ladders, and wooden bridges. Zejmarská roklina and the waterfalls are part of the circular educational trail NCH Slovenský raj. The trail starts in the village of Dedinky, is almost 10 km long, and the walk takes approximately 3 hours. It is recommended to complete the route only in dry weather.

Nálepkovy vodopády are named after Captain Ján Nálepka, a hero of World War II, who worked as a teacher in the village of Mlynky - Biele Vody before the war. He sympathized with Masaryk's ideas; in 1939, he was first demobilized, later recalled to the army, and sent to the Russian front. There he participated in anti-partisan operations. In reality, however, Nálepka cooperated with the partisans under the code name Repkin, supplying them with information and reporting fictitious numbers of killed insurgents to the Germans. Eventually, with part of his regiment, he defected to the partisans under the leadership of General Saburov. In May 1943, the 1st Czecho-Slovak Partisan Unit in the USSR was formed this way.

If you stay in this area, we also recommend visiting other tourist destinations. The location can boast other waterfalls such as Korytový, Skalný, or Závojový. Medvedia jaskyňa cave or Dobšinská ľadová jaskyňa ice cave may also catch your interest. The Palcmanská Maša water reservoir is made for summer recreation, while in winter, fun is provided by the ski resorts Mlynky - Biele Vody, Kruhová - Gugeľ, or Dedinky

The Predajnianske vodopády are located in the cadastral area of the village of Predajná in the Brezniansky okres. The cascading waterfalls of the Čelno stream boast not one but two streams, with a 5 m drop forming on one of them, while the other is only half that height. Since 1991, they have been a nature monument, and the 11.7 ha area falls under the administration of the Poľana state nature conservation. Protection applies not only to the waterfalls but also to rock seas and well-preserved plant and animal communities, which are important from an educational, scientific, and ecological perspective.

Above the waterfalls, tourists will also find one technical monument. The Kelemenov tunel on the forest road is a Slovak rarity. It was established back in 1928 when the narrow forest road in the Predajnianske Čelno valley was being adapted for timber transport by horse-drawn carriages. At one point, it was impossible to cut the road into the steep slope, and thus a 280 cm wide tunnel was pierced. It was named after its author, Ing. Vojtech Kelemen, the then director of Štátne lesy Banská Bystrica. In 1971, the tunnel underwent reconstruction and was enlarged to a height of 435 cm, a width of 440 cm, and a length of 41.5 m, thereby adapting it for car traffic.

Children can also easily manage the undemanding trip to the Predajnianske vodopády. The walk is also worth undertaking in winter when unique icefalls form. Marked trails lead to the waterfalls both from Predajná (approximately 11 km) and from the village of Lopej (approximately 9 km). Cyclists can also look forward to reaching the waterfalls along a marked cycling route named "Popod Hrb až na Štopm".

It lies at an altitude of 1,165 m above sea level, beneath Orlová, a majestic Low Tatras peak. Although it is not among the most famous waterfalls, it is extraordinarily impressive, especially during periods of its peak flow. When you are near the village of Pohorelá, be sure to take a trip to see it.

A path along a circular hiking trail from the aforementioned village of Pohorelá leads to it year-round. It is not a demanding hike at all, and no extra special physical fitness is required. Families with children and seniors can easily handle it. A great benefit of the trail is the surrounding area through which you pass. Along the way, wonderful views open up to you, namely of the peaks of the Nízke Tatry mountains, Muránska planina, and the Hron valley.

The surroundings of the waterfall are beautiful. Rocks, greenery, and trees are everywhere. Added to that are the sounds of falling water and a gurgling stream, just like in a fairytale. While walking, look not only around you but also beneath your feet. You might notice tree roots and mushrooms, as well as vipers, especially during the warm season. Locals will also warn you about bears, so it is good to keep that in mind and make "natural noise" in the forest.

During your wanderings through the nature of the Nízke Tatry mountains, we definitely recommend stopping at this lovely spot.

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.

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.

Most often, the starting point is the village of Necpaly. From there, it takes approximately two hours to reach the waterfalls by following the blue hiking trail. Following the same color, but from the opposite direction, from above, you can descend to the waterfalls from the ridges of the Veľká Fatra range. From the mountain cabin Chata pod Borišovom, it will take you about half an hour less. In the case of the second mentioned access route, be careful of avalanches in the winter. An asphalt road leads between the mountain hut and the village of Necpaly almost the entire way, offering an easy hiking walk, but you can also complete it by bicycle. Right by the road are the waterfalls Vodopád Revúcky mlyn and Druhý (or Dolný) Necpalský vodopád, while to reach the others, you need to step off the main road.

As we already mentioned in the introduction, and as follows from the name after all, there are several waterfalls. The first waterfall in the valley is the approximately 4 m high Vodopád Revúcky mlyn. It is the most prominent of all and is located in the Balcierovo area. It is followed by the approximately 1.2 m high Malý Necpalský vodopád, which lies at the point where the Prierastlé stream flows into Necpalský potok. Next in order is the approximately 2 m high Dolný Necpalský vodopád, for which the name Druhý Necpalský vodopád is also used. The group is closed by the approximately 4.5 m high Prvý Necpalský vodopád, which is also known as Horný Necpalský vodopád and Veľký Necpalský vodopád. Quite a chaos in the names, isn't it? Indeed, even the locals had to get used to which waterfall is called what for a long time.

Whether the names are confusing or not, the view of the waterfalls is definitely worth it. Look for suitable accommodation near Necpalské vodopády, for example, on the page accommodation Necpaly, and come admire them with your own eyes. Staying near them calms you down, and the view of them sets you free. Those who haven't experienced it won't believe it. Put on your hiking boots and head off to the picturesque and beautiful Necpalská dolina valley.

Pokutský vodopád is the largest waterfall in Chránená krajinná oblasť Ponitrie. It is also probably the only touristically known waterfall in the entire Vtáčnik mountain range. Sometimes you may also encounter its name Vodopád na Pokutskom potoku. You can find it while wandering in the surroundings of Žarnovica. It cascades in small steps over vertically cut andesite rocks. In summer, it is quite subtle due to the low flow rate of the stream.

That is also why we recommend planning your trip to it in spring, or during the period after heavier rains. These are frequent here in autumn, when the surroundings of the waterfall burst with beautiful, warm colors. Then you will enjoy a truly wonderful view. In Slovakia, we have many waterfalls, and each of them is unique. Pokutský vodopád is also beautiful in winter, when its waters freeze and you can see stunning crystal icicles on the individual andesite steps.

You can reach it via an asphalt road that lines the aforementioned Pokutský potok stream. Your starting point in this case will be in the village of Ostrý Grúň, after which you will cross Pokutský most bridge. However, there is another option. In the village of Kľak, you set off along a marked hiking trail that leads you to the summit of Vtáčnik. When you reach Partizánska chata, you must turn left onto an unmarked path, which will bring you directly to the waterfall. The closer you get to it, the more certain you will be in your steps. Nothing else will fill the air except the chirping of birds and the sound of gurgling water. A true balm for the soul.)

Chránená krajinná oblasť Ponitrie offers many other options for more or less demanding hiking. But that's not all, the entire area is very attractive, and anyone who hasn't been here should definitely change that. Start with a visit to the waterfall. Book accommodation near Pokutský vodopád, for example, on the page accommodation Kľak, and you will see that you will fall in love with this place.

When you continue approximately 300 m north of the Nová Baňa city district of Stará Huta, you will come across one of the most massive and beautiful waterfalls of the Central Slovakian volcanics. Yes, we are talking about Starohutský vodopád, a national natural monument of Slovakia. The water of the local Sklený potok stream falls at an altitude of 505 m above sea level, with the total height of the waterfall being 5 m. The path to it is easy and attractive in every season.

You can handle the walk to the waterfall even with smaller children. At the end of the settlement of Stará Huta, you will pass a signpost that will lead you past a few houses onto a forest path. While walking, you will be accompanied by the gurgling sound of the stream flowing from the direction of the waterfall you are heading toward. Its surroundings are beautiful, set in a valley. A large rock overgrown with moss, many plants all around. That is a sight that will immediately give you peace of mind.

In winter, its appeal does not diminish at all; quite the opposite. The waterfall freezes and you can enjoy yet another different view. A smaller seating area will serve you well for a brief rest. An information board is also located next to it. The information on it will introduce you to the surroundings as well as events related to the creation of the waterfall. For instance, you will also read on the board that the waterfall was formed as a result of a tectonic fault.

In addition to beautiful flora, interesting fauna can also be found in the area. When the sun's rays shine on the rocks, our protected wall lizard or fire salamander might flash beside them. And do you know why we are sure that the water in Starohutský vodopád is truly clean? The presence of the noble crayfish in it speaks for itself.

Come and marvel at this beautiful natural masterpiece yourself. You can reach the waterfall via the Náučný chodník Vojšín educational trail, which leads from the village of Stará Huta through Pohronský Inovec to the village of Malá Lehota. To be close by, book accommodation in the vicinity of Starohutský vodopád. For example, we recommend what you can find on the page accommodation Stará Huta or accommodation Nová Baňa. We wish you a pleasant stay, during which we also recommend visiting other attractions in the surroundings of Nová Baňa.

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.

Vysoké Tatry undoubtedly belong to the most beautiful and sought-after tourist locations in Slovakia. The massive peaks of the Tatry mountains, deep valleys formed by glaciers, murmuring streams full of crystal clear water, unique fauna and flora, and clean air are a guarantee of satisfaction even for the most demanding tourists. One of the beautiful and interesting destinations for your walks can be Hviezdoslavov vodopád.

The beginning of your journey will lead through Tatranská Javorina. This picturesque mountain village may interest you because it was the seat of Prince Hohenlohe, who had a beautiful two-story wooden hunting lodge built here. Your steps may also lead around the ancient wooden Kostol sv. Anny church. You can reach the waterfall along the blue tourist trail through the Bielovodská dolina valley. This was named after the wild mountain river Biela voda. Its bed is strewn with white granite pebbles. This valley is interesting because, as the only one in the Vysoké Tatry, it has an alpine character. This was given to it by the glacier that shaped it. During the glaciation period, it reached a length of up to 14 km and a thickness of 300 m. It is the longest Tatry valley, measuring over 10 km. However, you can also reach the waterfall by the ground funicular to Hrebienok, around Zbojnícka chata through Prielom, and past Zamrznuté pleso.

The trip to Hviezdoslavov vodopád is relatively comfortable and is also managed by families with children. The waterfall is one of the most beautiful Tatry glacial waterfalls. It is located at an altitude of 1575 m a. s. l. The water plunges from a stone granodiorite threshold to a depth of 15 m. Although it is a frequent destination for family walks, in this case, the journey to it is no less important and exciting. In the oldest Slovensko national park, you have plenty to admire. The original forests will interest you with their diverse tree species composition. In addition to Norway spruce, fir, and beech, you will also encounter the pride of the Tatry valleys, the Swiss pine (borovica limba), or noble specimens of the sycamore maple (javor horský). At higher altitudes, dwarf mountain pine (borovica kosodrevina) and rowan (jarabina vtáčia) are also added. The fauna is no less interesting. With a bit of luck, you can see the king of the Tatry sky, the golden eagle, the unique glacial relic of the Tatry chamois, or hear the whistling of the Tatry marmot. Botany lovers will be pleased by the multitude of rare species.

If you find yourself in this region during the winter season, you might be pleased during your stay by the possibility of skiing in Ski TAJA - Tatranská Javorina or Ski centrum Strednica Ždiar. Devotees of educational trails will be pleased by a walk to Zadné Meďodoly. You can discover a unique world of light attractions in the Svetelný dóm in Ždiar. In summer, you can enjoy a day full of fun with your little ones in Family Park Strachankovo.
