Waterfalls and Cascades of Studený Potok

The Waterfalls of Studený potok form a section of Studený potok from the confluence of the creek Veľký Studený potok from the valley Veľká Studená dolina and Malý Studený potok from Malá Studená dolina in close proximity to the former chalet Kamzík, up to the chalet Bilíkova chata, where the waterfalls end. The creek Studený potok flows through a huge terrain break and creates beautiful cascades and cataracts that are especially nice in the spring season when the snow melts or after heavy rains when the water level is high. Below Bilíková chata Studený potok flows through a milder river basin. There are several marked hiking trails along the waterfalls. The waterfalls are a popular tourist place.

Obrovský waterfall is one of the waterfalls which are created by the creek Studený potok and is situated in a valley Malá Studená dolina in 1330m. altitude. It is approximately 20 metres high. The waterfall is accessible by red-marked trail from Hrebienok. Other waterfalls and cascades of Studený potok are possible to admire on the track from Hrebienok around chalets Bilíkova chata up to Rainerova chata.
