Dalfazer Wasserfall, Natural waterfall in Eben am Achensee, Austria

Dalfazer Wasserfall drops vertically through limestone rock formations, creating the largest waterfall in the Rofan Mountains near Lake Achensee. The water cascades from a considerable height, forming a dominant feature of this mountain landscape.

The waterfall was long unknown as a natural destination in the mountain region. Its transformation into a popular hiking spot occurred after hiking trails and viewing platforms were developed.

The waterfall is reached by a roughly 45-minute trail from the Buchau district of Eben am Achensee up to the Dalfazalm, an alpine pasture that gives the fall its name. The name Dalfazer refers to this alm above the drop, so the walk itself passes through the pasture land that shaped the site's identity.

The best time to visit is from spring through autumn when trails are most accessible and water flow is steady. The hike from the valley involves a moderate uphill climb, so proper footwear and fitness help make the journey easier.

The Buchau via ferrata beside the waterfall was built in 2011 by Stefan Wierer, who had already helped set up the 5-Gipfel-Klettersteig in the Rofan Mountains. It is about 150 metres long and rated D, meaning very difficult. A wooden viewing platform was added below the falls in 2007 by the Maurach tourism association and the municipality of Eben am Achensee.
