Luisenthaler Wasserfall, Artificial waterfall in Altensteiner Park, Bad Liebenstein, Germany.

Luisenthaler Wasserfall is an artificial waterfall in Altensteiner Park near Bad Liebenstein that plunges roughly 10 meters into a forest pond. An Alpine-style building sits above it, framing the scene.

The waterfall was created on the initiative of Duke Georg I of Saxe-Meiningen as an addition to the park around Altenstein Castle, built to match the Romantic taste of the 19th century. Miners used the Luisenbach spring stream in the Luisenthaler Grund, adding a collecting pond in its upper course as a reservoir. The falls sit in the lower part of the valley, fed by an inconspicuous channel from that pond.

The waterfall and its Swiss-style hut represent the German Romantic period's interest in creating naturalistic landscapes that replicate Alpine environments.

The site can be reached via several walking paths with varying difficulty levels that run through the forest and park. The nearest public transport stop is about 750 meters away.

The waterfall is fed by the Luisenbach, a spring stream whose upper course the miners dammed with a collecting pond as a reservoir. An inconspicuous water channel carries the water from this pond down to the falls in the lower valley, and below them a carp pond catches the outflow before it drains through the natural stream to the Schweina.
