Zaskalnik is a waterfall located on Partyzantów Street in Severynówka, a district of Szczawnica lying away from the main routes and traffic. The cascades are situated in a basin and separated from the road by a rocky wall with steep stairs. However, it is worth the effort and the demanding descent, as the views are impressive regardless of the time of day or year. The water falling from a height of 5m has, over hundreds of years, gouged a considerable depression and forms a beautiful natural pool surrounded by giant boulders.
Black Route
The black trail connecting the shelter under Bereśnik with Sewerynówka runs next to Zaskalnik. It is the fastest way from the upper part of Szczawnica to the waterfall.
Blue Route
The waterfall is also located in the vicinity of the blue trail, which starts in the centre of Szczawnica and heads towards Przehyby. The route leads mainly along forest roads suitable for cars and bicycles, but it also has sections that can only be walked.
Ciuchka
A blue-and-yellow choo-choo runs regularly between Szczawnica's Dietl Square and the waterfall. It is a kind of bus connecting the most popular attractions of Szczawnica. You can check the timetable on the spa's website.
Photo sessions
The waterfall is a frequent choice of honeymooners and families for a photo session. Local photographers offer unique and beautiful souvenirs from the Pieniny Mountains in the form of photographs against the backdrop of the Zaskalnik cascades.
