Amsel Falls, Cascade in Saxon Switzerland National Park, Germany.

Amsel Falls is a waterfall in Saxon Switzerland where the Grünbach stream drops about 10 metres over the largest step in the Amselgrund valley, pouring over the Amselloch, a collapsed cave 15 metres long whose roof is formed of fallen sandstone blocks. Potholes and kolks in the ravine and cave mark meltwaters that flowed toward the Elbe in earlier ice ages.

The stream originally flowed through a cave until engineers in the 19th century redirected its course to make the waterfall more visible. This change transformed a hidden natural feature into an accessible attraction.

The waterfall appears in early artworks by Christian Gottlob Hammer, who depicted it along the Malerweg hiking trail in Saxon Switzerland.

The falls are easily reached from the Malerweg hiking trail and work well as a stop during day hikes. During warmer months, a visitor center nearby provides information about local trails and the surrounding area.

The water is controlled by an adjustable weir system that changes the flow intensity over a hidden cave called Amselloch. Visitors may experience different waterfall strengths depending on how this system is set.
