Csorgókő Waterfall

The approximately 7-metre-high waterfall cascades down between rocks, forming a small pool at its base where, in summer, the braver visitors can even take a dip. It can be reached on foot via a forest path, with an easy 30-minute walk from the centre of Székelyvarság. Along the way, visitors pass through shady pine forests, meadows, and stream banks, making the journey itself an enjoyable experience.

The surroundings of Csorgókő are particularly valuable from a conservation perspective. The habitat around the waterfall is home to numerous protected plant and animal species, so we kindly ask visitors to stay on the designated paths and not disturb the wildlife. There are no built stairs, railings, or tourist infrastructure – the untouched nature and tranquillity of the waterfall make it truly special.

This location is an excellent example of sustainable tourism: it is accessible on foot, has been preserved in its natural state, and the hike to reach it has a minimal ecological footprint. The Csorgókő Waterfall is a perfect destination for those seeking the peace of nature, fresh air, and a genuine, profound experience – whether solo hikers, families, or small groups of nature enthusiasts.

Visitors here don’t just see a waterfall; they become part of the ancient, slow rhythm dictated by nature – with respect, attentiveness, and humility.

Accessibility and Practical Information

The Csorgókő Waterfall is located about 3–4 kilometres from the centre of Székelyvarság. The recommended way to reach the waterfall is on foot, via a comfortable, family-friendly hiking trail that passes through a stunning forest environment. The designated path leads through shady pine forests and along stream banks, making the hike itself part of the experience.

Driving access is only recommended for those with reduced mobility, elderly visitors, or expectant mothers, as the final section is along a poorly maintained gravel road, and the surrounding nature requires heightened protection. Vehicles should be parked at the nearest designated parking area, from where the waterfall can be reached with a short walk.

The area is open to visitors all year round, with no entrance fee. In winter, the path may be icy and slippery, so appropriate boots and caution are advised. There is no built infrastructure, so visitors are encouraged to adapt to the natural conditions.

Sustainability and Responsible Visiting

The Csorgókő Waterfall is a site that allows for respectful observation of nature. It is accessible on foot and free from artificial interventions, preserving its original character. We kindly ask visitors to stay on the designated paths, leave no litter behind, and protect the cleanliness of the water.

This waterfall is not just a hiking destination but also an initiation into the rhythm of nature: a quiet, meditative experience where you can reconnect with the landscape – and with yourself.
