All About

Sylvia Falls

Highlights

Walking trail: Grade 3 | 3.3km loop | 1.5 - 2.5 hour return

DANGER: Sheer cliffs and waterfalls. One slip could be fatal—serious injury or death may result from walking near the edge. Keep to the track. Supervise children closely.

Sylvia Falls is an absolute stunning waterfall located lower down the track past the absolutely impressive Empress Falls, along the Valley of the Waters track near Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains.

We highly recommend this spectacular waterfall hike if you love exploring waterfalls and are visiting Katoomba in the Blue Mountains region, west of Sydney.
