The waterfall is clearly visible from the shore of a nearby lake, and you can get to the natural treasure along a marked tourist trail. The height of the water fall is 25 m, the impressions of what you see depend largely on the time of year. The fact is that in the spring, water is transported from the hills in the amount of 50 l / s, and in the summer it reaches 900 l / s.

The name "Morskie Oko" comes from an old legend, according to which the lake was connected to the sea through an underground channel. In the past, the lake was called "Rybie Ozero" due to its natural fish stocks, which were rare for Tatra lakes and ponds.

On the Polish side, the park surrounds and protects the whole Tatra massif with its highest peak, Mount Rysy (2,499 meters above sea level), and is the only region of an Alpine character in Poland. The jagged granite ridges and forested slopes, post-glacial depressions, mountain lakes, numerous caves and scenic valleys with rushing mountain streams create one of the most beautiful landscapes in Poland.
