The waterfall is divided into three sections: upper, middle, and lower drops.
It was featured in the 2008 film The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian as a backdrop.
The temperature inside the gorge remains significantly cooler than the surrounding forest due to limited sunlight and water mist.
The canyon surrounding the waterfall is geologically classified as a post-glacial gorge.
The water flow is regulated by the natural catchment area of the Karkonosze range, leading to varying volumes throughout the year.
Kamieńczyk Waterfall is the highest waterfall in the Polish Sudetes, cascading 27 meters over three distinct tiers. It is situated within a dramatic, narrow gorge carved into the granite bedrock of the Karkonosze Mountains. The site is a protected natural monument located within the Karkonosze National Park. Visitors access the base of the falls via a metal staircase that leads into the canyon. The waterfall is fed by the Kamienna River, originating near the Szrenica mountain peak. It has served as a filming location for international fantasy productions, including The Chronicles of Narnia. The gorge itself reaches a depth of 25 meters, while the width at the narrowest point is approximately 3 meters.
