Dooser Wasserfall, Natural waterfall in Franconian Switzerland, Germany.

The Dooser Waterfall forms where the Aufseß River meets the Wiesent River, creating a two-meter cascade through limestone formations.

First documented in 1449 in Bishop Anton von Rotenhan's records, the waterfall originally stood four meters high before local farmers extracted tufa stones.

The waterfall attracted numerous 19th-century artists and writers, including Ludwig Richter who created detailed drawings of the natural formation.

Located 200 meters south of Doos hamlet, visitors can reach the waterfall through marked hiking paths in the Natural Park Franconian Switzerland.

The waterfall's height diminished after 1850 when farmers from Engelhardsberg extracted tufa stones for construction materials.
