Cascade du Nideck

The Nideck waterfall forms a 25-meter vertical drop over volcanic rocks, creating a water curtain surrounded by dense forest vegetation.

The waterfall stands near medieval castle ruins, forming part of a landscape that has drawn visitors since the early development of regional tourism.

The site connects to regional folklore through tales of giants who lived in the neighboring Nideck castles during ancient times.

Visitors can reach the falls via a 1.3-kilometer marked trail from the forestry house, with parking available at two designated areas.

During winter months, the falling water transforms into frozen cascades, creating natural ice formations against the dark volcanic rock face.
