The path goes firstly moderately downwards across the picturesque forest meadow , then it goes through the forest as far as to the Walley of Bystré Creek. Alongside the creek it is already a step forward to get there. Afterwards we find ourselves on the rocky terrace, from which the water falls to the depth of more than 20 metres. Near the waterfall it is possible to come down the iron ladders down to the stream bottom where water falls with big noise. The Bystré waterfall is a national natural monument which fascinates each visitor.
