Wasserfall Tatzelwurm, Natural monument in Oberaudorf, Germany.
The Tatzelwurm Waterfall features a series of cascades along the Auerbach Stream, dropping 95 meters through a narrow rocky gorge lined with trees.
The waterfall received its name over 750 years ago from the mythological water dragon Tatzelwurm that German-speaking residents believed inhabited mountain streams.
This natural formation has contributed to local folklore, as the sound of rushing water and rising mist created stories about mysterious creatures in the area.
Visitors can access both the upper and lower sections of the waterfall via an 800-meter round trip trail, with wooden bridges providing viewing platforms.
The waterfall consists of multiple 10-meter drops within the Gumpei gorge, creating a sequence of water formations visible from different observation points.
