Vodopád chrlí vodu z žulového barokního chrlice z 18.st., v podobe drací hlavy. Voda proudí pod areálem kláštera z tzv. Opatského kanálu vybudovaným pred rokem 1380. Potok Menší Vltavice napájející kanál je regulován jednoduchým hradidlem (N48° 37.024 E14°17.972) - viz. foto. Voda byla v minulosti využívána jako "vodovod" pro obyvatele opatství ci dobytek, ale také zdroj vody pro klášterní pivovar, mlýn a pozdeji také pro pilu.
Vodopád býval vlastne prepad z nevyužité vody, zpet do potoka.
Waterfall spouts water from the granite baroque gargoyle in the form of a dragon (the baroque gargoyle is 18th century).
Water moves through the area known as the Abbot of the Monastery of the Canal built before 1380. The Vltavice creek flows into a smaller channel that is regulated single dam beams (N48° 37.024 E14°17.972) - photo. The water was previously used as "water" for residents of the Abbey or for cattle, but was also the source of water for the monastery brewery, and later for a sawmill. The waterfall of unused water went back into the creek.
