Lechfall

The Lechfall cascades over a constructed dam ladder on the Lech River, creating a three-meter drop into a narrow gorge beneath the observation bridge.

Local authorities built this water control structure during the 18th century to manage flooding and regulate water flow through the Bavarian town of Füssen.

The Lech River, with its waterfall, represents a central element of Füssen's identity, marking the transition between Bavaria and Tyrol regions.

Visitors can access the falls from a parking area near road B17, with multiple viewing platforms offering different perspectives of the falling water.

The water rushing down the falls displays different color variations depending on mineral content, ranging from turquoise to emerald green throughout seasons.
