Majestic medieval castles and monumental Gothic cathedrals, stone bridges with statues and old colorful houses, spacious city squares and narrow streets paved with stone – this is how most modern travelers see the fabulous Czech Republic. And only those who have long learned about the centuries-old stone walls, walked through the winding blocks and streets, and drank a glass of beer in the central square, are eager to see the other side of this amazing country. A magical place with picturesque natural parks and protected areas, mountain rivers and azure lakes, waterfalls and caves, where every stone and every tree keeps its secrets. Folk poets and writers compose legends about them, and famous painters try to capture this beauty on their canvases.
One of these attractions is the famous Karkonosze National Park on the border of the Czech Republic and Poland. It’s a popular holiday destination at any time of the year. Its main gem – the amazing Mumlava Waterfall is located just half an hour's walk from the small town of Harrachov, in the giant mountains on the Mumlava River. This waterfall is especially beautiful during the rainy season, when powerful rapid streams of water cascade down the sharp rocks from a height of almost eight meters, noisily hitting the stones and leaving a transparent white haze. It creates a mysterious fairy-tale atmosphere of the time of giants and other mythical characters, who once inhabited the Czech lands according to legend. Moreover, the enchanting beauty of the Mumlava Waterfall, which is more than ten meters wide, is accessible even for the youngest tourists. The road to it is quite easy, and it takes a little time.
Giant pits, the so-called «devil's eyes», blurred by a waterfall at the foot of the cliff, are a nice bonus to one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Karkonosze National Park and the most full-flowing waterfall in the entire country.
