Pic. 2   Little waterfall  The    view    from    above    - from   the   bridge.   The   beginning of   this   gorge   is   cca   1   km   long easy   forest   road.   After   that   the valley    fork    -    directly    continue the   hiking   trail   along   Veľký   (Big) Sokol   gorge,   to   the   right   is   Malý (Little)    Sokol.    There    isn´t    path with   tourist´s   sighns   and   there are     no     tourist     atractions     as waterfalls or cascades are.

Pic. 5:   Cascades There       are       only       two waterfals   in   Sokol   gorge   -   Little one   and   Big   one.   But   here   are   a lot       of       narrows        with       an interesting   cascades.   These   are above   the   Big   waterfal.   Here   are very      useful      some      tracking sticks.

Pic. 7:   The Róth´s Gorge The    interesting     narrow kanyon   in   upper   part   of   Veľký Sokol.     Everywhere     in     the gorges   you   have   to   step   on wet   stones   and   wood,   which are   extremly   slippery.   This   is often   the   reason   of   injuries, so be carefull.

Pic. 9:   The Roth´s Gorge Maybe    someone    pau- ses   wondered   why   there   is so   much   “messy   place”,   i.e. wood    and    old    dry    trunks. Note,      however,      that      the purpose    of    reservations    is just   the   least   interfere   with the    development    of    a    pro- tected   area,   so   i   “mess”   of dead     trees     completes     the picture   of   wild   nature,   too.   In addition,   any   vacated   would be    financially    and    techno- logically     very     tyre     -     well, there    is    actually    no    where. Perhaps   it   would   help   just   a helicopter,   you   can   also   cut it    into    smaller    pieces    and wait    until    next    high    water flushes them out.

Pic. 4:   The Big Waterfall It´s     a     little     mystery, who   and   why   names   these waterfalls   “Big”   and   “Little” one.        They        are        close themselves,    so    the    flow    is the    same,    even    the    official dates    says,    that    the    Little Waterfall   is   higher   by   1,5   m than   the   Big   one   is.   But   this is    no    substantial    -    both    of them certainly enjoy.

Pic. 6:  The Róth´s Gorge This   gorge   -   the   upper part    of    Veľký    Sokol    -    is named   after   the   master   of highschool       in       Spišska Nova   Ves   town   :   Mr.   Martin Róth.    He    was    the    pioneer of   tourism      and   climbing   in High   Tatras   mountains.   We can   to   join   his   name   with first      crossings      of      the gorges   of   Slovak   Paradise at    the    turn    of    the    19th    - 20th   centuries.   He   realised the   first   crossing   of   Veľký Sokol   with   his   two   friends in the year 1898.

Pic. 8:  The Róth´s Gorge Just    these    dead    trees are   giving   to   this   area   some originality and wilderness.

Pic. 10:  The Róth´s gorge  The   End   of   the   Róth´s gorge.    Here    we    go    up    on the   forest   road.   We   can   go back   to   the   left,   continue   to mountain   plateau   Geravy   or to    village    Stratená    to    the right.
