Waterfalls in the Low Beskids
The Low Beskids hide many charming corners. Are there waterfalls among them? Of course!
Magura Waterfall
Unassuming, yet the highest waterfall in the Low Beskids is located along the nature trail in Folusz. Unfortunately, during drought and prolonged heat, there will be very little water here... It is definitely better to visit this place after heavy rains! Along the way, an additional attraction - the beautiful Diabli Kamień rock outcrop.
- height about 7 meters
- access via a forest path, about 2 km from the parking lot in Folusz
- the path is located in the Magura National Park, so there is a ban on entry with dogs and a requirement to purchase a park entry ticket
Easy

Waterfall in Wisłoczek
At the northeastern edge of the Low Beskids (actually already in the Bukowskie Foothills) there is another noteworthy waterfall. The waterfall on the Wisłoczek, right next to the seasonal SKPB tent base from Rzeszów, is worth visiting, for example, during a trip to the nearby Wisłok Gorge in Rudawka Rymanowska. It is also well known to hikers traveling the Main Beskid Trail (the red trail passes by the footbridge right next to the waterfall).
- waterfall height about 3 meters
- the waterfall is located right next to the access road to the village of Wisłoczek
PS. Witch's Waterfall in Ciężkowice
