Riesachfälle

The Riesach Falls cascade down through multiple sections, reaching a total height of 140 meters across the steep rock formations of Steiermark.

The waterfall system formed over thousands of years as the Riesachbach stream carved its path through the limestone cliffs of the Eastern Alps.

Local communities maintain the hiking paths and viewing platforms around Riesachfälle, preserving access for nature enthusiasts from around the world.

Visitors can park at Seeleitenparkplatz for 9 euros and follow the marked blue trail for a 20-minute walk to reach the main waterfall viewing area.

The waterfall splits into two distinct sections, with the upper falls connecting to Riesachsee lake, creating a natural water system in the mountains.
