high water best months to go

From about 0.10 m³/s in the lowest month to 0.41 m³/s in the highest. Best months to go, with plenty of water and pleasant days: from April to July.

Estimate: the timing comes from rain, snowmelt and evaporation (NASA POWER, 1991–2020); the amounts from the river model of HydroATLAS (WaterGAP, 1971–2000). Dams upstream can change the real flow.

9 kW

About 0.18 m³/s falling 5 m: the power of the water as it drops.

enough to power about 2 homes, if it were all turned into electricity

Power of falling water = density × gravity × flow × height. Average flow and height as shown above; an estimate.

The Teplička through the falls

The line follows the river as mapped in OpenStreetMap; heights from the 30 m Copernicus model, which smooths narrow drops — the published height of the falls is the one above.

The valley below the falls

Around the falls the river drops 127 m in 3.6 km. Here the river runs about 187 m below the lower rim of its valley.
