The
Závojový
waterfall
from
the
opposite
hillside:
it´s
known
as
the
highest
continuous
system
of
waterfalls
and
ladders
in
the
Slovak
Paradise.
But
this
gorge
has
one
drawback
(or
advantage?)
-
when
we are going there from anywhere, it is far away enough. It is the reason of less tourists here.
Závojový waterfall - foot of it
We
can
get
there
from
Čingov
tourist
centre,
from
Letanovce
or
Hrabušice villages.
You
have
two
possibilities
from
Hrabušice
village
and
both
of
them
offer
more attractivities:
-
Podlesok
tourist
centre
-
Suchá
Belá
gorge
-
Malá
Poľana
meadow
-
the
first
turn
to
left
past
the
Biskupské
chyžky
cottages
direction
to
Glac
-
at
the
crossroads
named
Pod
Bykarkou
turn
to
left,
follow
the
yellow
sign
down
to
Klauz
valley
and
along
the
Biely
potok
river
down
to
Sokolia
dolina
(the
first
tributary
from left).
-
From
Mýto
(crossroads
before
Podlesok)
along
the
Hornád
river
to
Prielom
Hornádu
kanyon,
continue
to
Kláštorná
gorge,
along
this
to
Kláštorisko
tourist
centre
(the
ruins
of
monastery,
restaurant)
follow
the
yellow
sign
down
to
Kysel
and
along
the
river
up
to
Sokolia
gorge.
The
part
of
Závojový
waterfall:
The
route
is
good
to
choose
according
to
your
plan
of
return.
Longest
return
is
to
Čingov
tourist
centre,
shortest
is
to
Podlesok
tourist
centre.
Most
attractive
route
is
Podlesok
-
Suchá
Belá
-
Malá
poľana
-
Klauz
-
Sokolia dolina - return across the Malá Poľana meadow.
The
part
of
the
Závojový
waterfall
from
above:
Don´t
worry
and
don´t
hurry
-
this
trip
is
longer,
but
you´ve
time
all
day.
Have
a
rest
and
you´ll
see
that it´s worth while. If your age, condition and health permits it, go there!
Skalný waterfall
This
is
one
of
the
first
attractions in Sokolia dolina gorge.
Závojový waterfall
- autumn
The
highest
set
of
waterfalls,
ladders
and
bridges
in
the
Slovak
Paradise
will
welcome
us
with
this
amazing
view.
It
is
always
good
to
get
an
idea
of
what
one
is
going
into
in
this
way.
There
are
people
who
have
a
problem
with
heighs
and
it
happens
that
they
return
from
the
first
higher
waterfall.
It
may
be
enough
to
look
from
below
and
return,
but
it
is
advisable
to
know
in
advance.
Závojový waterfall
from above - the part of it
To
visit
the
Sokolia
Valley
from
anywhere,
you
need
to
plan
a
day
trip
and
take
into
account
the
weather
forecast.
In
any
case,
it
is
advisable
to
choose
earlier
in
the
morning:
on
the
one
hand,
the
visitor
is
not
caught
in
the
dark
on
a
hike,
but
in
all
probability
he
also
avoids
summer
storms,
which
more
often
come
in
the
late
afternoon.
It
is
also
necessary
to
take
into
account
that
if
you
come
here
to
really
enjoy
this
beauty,
a
slow
walk,
frequent
stops,
time
space
for
nice
photos,
maybe
a
debate
and
exchange
of
experiences
with
other
tourists
is
suitable,
but
certainly
not
breaking
some speed records.
Závojový waterfall -
the part of it
This
smaller
waterfall
is
inde-
pendent,
but
official
is
named
as
a
higher
part
of
Závojový
waterfall.
It
a
little
remind
(at
least
to
me)
Korytový
waterfall
in
Suchá
Belá
gorge.
Here
we
take
leave
of
Závo-
jový
waterfall
and
above
us
is
still
the last - Vyšný waterfall.
Sokolia dolina - the look to opposite hillside: The look from the upper part of Sokolia
dolina to the ridge between Sokolia dolina and Kyseľ gorges.
Závojový waterfall in
the winter
Maybe
the
most
impressive
look
in
the
Sokolia
dolina.
It
is
always
different
-
it
worth
of
it
to
return here in evry season.
One
logical,
for
the
majority
of
the
visitors
maybe
not
necessary,
but
important
advice:
specially
(but
not
only)
children
are
in
a
hurry
on
the
ladders
and
they
climb
tight
behind
themselves.
Under
more
people
the
ladder
may
swing
and
there
is
danger
of
falling
down
or
to
dig
someone
behind
(under)
me
to
his
head.
Adequate
spacing
increa-
ses
the
safety
of
ladders
move-
ment.
Závojový waterfall -
lower part
The
first
high
ladder
on
foot
of
Závojový
waterfall.
It
is
furter
from
the
stonewall
so
the
depth
under
legs
may
evoke
the
fear
at
some
people.
We
can
see
little
waterfall
behind
this
ladder,
but
it
runs
only
from the cleft in the rocks.
The Vyšný (Upper)
waterfall
We
can
see
here
only
its
border
in
the
background,
the
next
picture
is
better.
It
is
the
last attraction of this gorge.
Vyšný waterfall
This
is
the
end
of
adrenalin,
the
rest
is
walk
along
the
forest
path
on
the mountain plateau.
On
the
top
we
continue
to
the
right
-
direction
to
Biskupské
chyžky
and Malá poľana.
