Chřibský vodopád
A picturesque hidden miracle of České Švýcarsko
This fascinating waterfall can be found approximately 1.5 km east of the centre of the village of Chřibská, on a peaceful forest trail leading from the former Střelnice towards Plešivec.
What will truly captivate you here
Stop and listen to the soothing sound of water in the heart of the forest. These waterfalls will enchant visitors with their unique character. They consist of two tiers, each reaching a height of between 1.5 and 2 metres. What makes them absolutely exceptional is the way the water falls: the stream plunges vertically, and throughout its descent, it does not touch the sandstone rock at all.
This vertical drop of water is a very rare phenomenon in the Czech natural environment, resembling the waterfalls typical of exotic tropical regions in its form. Surround yourself with silence and observe the play of light and shadow in this small but all the more impressive natural theatre.
How to get here and what else you can experience
From Chřibská, follow the marked forest path that will lead you through the valley to the waterfall. After your visit, you may continue up the wooden stairs to the junction above the valley. From there, you can return the way you came or continue towards Plešivec or the Chřibská railway station.
