[2] Siklawa Falls is located roughly 1,600 meters (5,200 feet) above sea level and consists of two or three main flows of water depending on the water level in Wielki Staw Polski.

In 1924, Jan Gąsienica-Daniel, a popular mountain guide, died on the route after slipping on ice and falling down the valley.
