The Dwoista Siklawa is a waterfall in the Polish High Tatras near Bukowina Tatrzańska . The water of the Mnichowy Potok falls from the Dolina za Mnichem valley , specifically the Nadspady basin , into the Meerauge mountain lake in the Dolina Rybiego Potoku valley . In winter, the waterfall regularly freezes over and forms an 80 m long icefall.
Surname
The name Dwoista Siklawa can be translated as "double waterfall". It comes from the fact that the Mnichowy Potok, when it flows out of the Nadspady basin, divides into two streams (the Straight Waterfall and the Leaning Waterfall), which then fall over several cascades into the Bergsee Meerauge. Shortly before the estuary they flow together again.
Flora and fauna
The waterfall is above the tree line.
tourism
The waterfall is accessible via a red marked hiking trail that circles the Meerauge . The Schronisko PTTK nad Morskim Okiem mountain hut is located near the waterfall .
