Siklawica Falls is a waterfall in the Western Tatras, just south of Zakopane, Poland. It drops 24 meters (79 feet), making it the second highest waterfall in the Polish Tatras. The falls sit about 1,100 meters (3,600 feet) above sea level on the Strążyski Potok stream in the Strążyski Valley, inside Tatra National Park. Water flows from two nearly vertical walls at about 80 degrees, creating two main cascades, each 12 meters high. The name comes from Siklawa Falls in the Valley of the Five Polish Lakes. It was also known as Sicznąca and Siczawa. Tourists have visited since the 19th century; in 1849 Ludwik Zejszner described it as "worthy of seeing in every respect."
