Schleierfälle, Natural monument and waterfall in Bad Bayersoien, Germany.

Schleierfälle is a waterfall on the left steep bank of the Ammerschlucht, on the border between Wildsteig and Bad Bayersoien. A stream rising on the high bank plunges over the cliff edge, where it has deposited a moss-covered balcony of calcareous tuff. The moss divides the falling water into individual strands, creating a veil of water.

The stream that feeds the falls has cut down the edge of the Ammerschlucht and, over time, deposited a moss-covered balcony of calcareous tuff (Kalktuff) there; the moss splits the falling water into separate strands. The site is registered as a geotope and protected as a natural monument. Because the entry ban is widely ignored, authorities plan to close the access path and build a viewing platform on the opposite side of the gorge.

The name comes from the moss on the tuff balcony, which splits the falling water into separate strands so it hangs like a veil. The stream rises on the high bank and drops over the gorge rim; the mossy tuff ledge it built is the feature to look for.

Access to the falls themselves is officially banned to protect the site, and the ban is widely disregarded; a closure of the approach and a viewing platform on the opposite side of the gorge are planned. The falls lie on the left steep bank of the Ammerschlucht, about 1.5 km north of the Scheibum, on the boundary between Wildsteig and Bad Bayersoien.

At the northern edge of the falls, not at their base, lies the entrance to a cave in the calcareous tufa; it was artificially enlarged. The tufa balcony itself was deposited by the stream over time and is overgrown with moss.
