The Skakavica waterfall is about 50 metres high and is one of the best sites for ice climbing. Competitions take place there each winter.

...really looks quite similar to Skok waterfall in High Tatras! Even the name is almost the same:-)

Re: It...

Where is that waterfall in the Tatras?



You're right, the river Skakavica is called that way because it "jumps" a lot. The word "skok" (or "vodoskok") is sometimes used for smaller waterfalls.

Re: It...

This waterfall is in Mlynicka Dolina.It's little lower: about 25 meters.And the name is because of the fact that in spring when the snow melts and there's a lot of water it "jumps" in the upper part of the waterfall.
