Szklarka Waterfall (German: Kochelfall) - the second highest, after Kamieńczyk Waterfall (27 m high), a waterfall in the Polish Karkonosze.

Szklarka Waterfall is located at 520 m above sea level. and is 13.3 m high. Its waters are falling in a wide cascade, characteristically narrowing downwards and spiraling, where it forms an evacuation boiler. The waterfall and its surroundings constitute an enclave of the Karkonosze National Park.

A wide path leads to the waterfall from the car park, ending with a viewing platform. Entrance to the National Park is payable. The waterfall is accessible to disabled people using wheelchairs. At the waterfall there is a "Kochanówka" hostel, the only facility of this type in Piechowice, near the border with Szklarska Poręba.

It is the most visited waterfall in the Giant Mountains due to its location on the E65 road (national road No. 3) next to Szklarska Poręba. The waterfall itself lies slightly above the mouth of Szklarki to Kamienna in a picturesque gorge among a beautiful mixed forest.

In the nineteenth century, a small weir was built above the waterfall by the Karkonoskie Association (Riesengebirgsverein), whose quick opening resulted in an effective drop of water for a moment.
