Polanassy Waterfall is a beautiful and peaceful spot. The walk to the waterfall is very scenic, with lovely nature all around, and the sound of the water makes it even more relaxing. It’s not overly crowded, which makes it feel like a hidden gem. The waterfall itself is impressive and well worth the visit, especially if you enjoy being outdoors and exploring natural places. A great stop for a quiet walk and some fresh air.

Beautiful local amenity with plenty of parking. Unfortunately not good for those insteady or infirm on the feet. Path / walk down is not great and steep. Water is cold at first but you get used to it. As always small kids must be kept away from the edges as there's no safety railings or barriers. No public toilets either

An absolutely gorgeous waterfall that is easy to access and has free parking. It’s about a 5 minute walk down the trail. We accidentally came across this spot, loved it so much we went back to our Airbnb to get swim clothes, spent the day there swimming and jumping off the cliff. The water is as cold as you would expect, but clean as can be. If people would pick up their left behind clothes, this spot would be a 100/100.

A nice waterfall that is popular with local swimmers, it has no real parking. The is a short walk down to the waterfall if can be photographed from the front and side. Better to pick a less busy day and take your time to find safe parking, cheers

Very beautiful location. Peaceful at any time of year. After rain in winter it's a torrent and in summer it makes a great bathing pool. Has gotten busier over the years but is still a beauty sport with natural charm. People dive from the top, but be warned I have seen ppl been taken out with injured ankles. I *think* they didn't clear the edge of the waterfall enough.
