Wilczka Falls Nature Reserve

[4] The following plant species can be found here: cardamine glanduligera, galium odoratum, polygonatum verticillatum, prenanthes purpurea, hordelymus europaeus, athyrium filix-femina, phegopteris connectilis, dryopteris dilatata, lamium galeobdolon, and festuca altissima.

Before 1945 the height of the waterfall reached as much as 30 m. The cascade falls from a 3 m wide sill into a small eversion basin carved in a less resistant shale.

[4] Since the end of the 18th century the waterfall was a destination of frequent excursions from the nearby resorts of Lądek and Długopol-Zdrój.

In the 19th century, during the reign of Princess Marianne of Orange, a small park with a fountain was created above the waterfall surrounded by a romantic garden[4].

On the initiative of the Negler siblings, stairs, railings and footbridges were built to access viewpoints and the bottom of the gorge.
