Lichtenhain Waterfall, Waterfall attraction in Kirnitzsch Valley, Germany
The Lichtenhain Waterfall forms from the Lichtenhainer village brook and features a dam with a pushable weir that controls the water flow in Saxon Switzerland National Park.
William Lebrecht Götzinger documented the waterfall in his 1812 publication about Schandau, marking its first significant historical mention in regional literature.
The waterfall employs designated staff members called waterfall pullers who manage the weir system to create scheduled water releases throughout the day.
The site connects to Bad Schandau via the Kirnitzschtalbahn tramway, which includes elevated platforms and mobile ramps for wheelchair access at terminal stations.
Visitors can observe the transformation of the water flow every thirty minutes when the dam releases water, creating an enhanced waterfall display in the natural landscape.
