Wodospad Szklarki is the second highest - after Wodospad Kamieńczyka - waterfall in Polish Karkonosze. Szklarka itself is rather short, not even 7 km long stream, that shortly after folling down into Kamienna river valley (that's how Szklarki Waterfall has been created) ends up joining forces and waters with mentioned Kamienna river. Very popular spot with tourists - in peak times queues for toll booth can reach half an hour, or even longer. And yes, as it is a part of Karkonosze National Park, the entry is paid. Toll booth are located on blue/black trail, which leads to the waterfall (about 10-15 minutes), and the access to that entry is cleverly hidden between souvenir huts on always super busy car park on the main DK3 road, just before Szklarska Poręba (when coming from the north) - formally Szklarki Waterfall is not in Szklarska Poręba, it's within town of Piechowice boundaries. This path is also wheelchair accessible. There's another entry, from area over the waterfall, on the other end of blue/black trails, and it is legal and free of charge, but takes a bit more effort, as the walk is much longer, but hose hikers, who go for this option, they got a chance to enjoy much longer stretch of Szklarka, which is very picturesque on much of its length. Some people in their reviews here suggest different ways of skipping the toll booth - those are illegal, and as it is a national park, you only allowed to use marked trail, and we've seen park guards fining those, who thought they are too clever to pay. And after all of that - the waterfall itself is lovely, Kochanówka mountain hut located just in front of it serves food and drinks. Only those large crowds... so go there early in the morning, or after 4 pm, and you will have that waterfall mainly for yourself.
