Fallbach waterfall

Medium to heavy

The approximately 45-metre-high waterfall of the Fallbach stream can be seen from afar from the Dornbirn district of Wallenmahd and is an impressive natural spectacle. The Fallbachtobelweg trail starts at Gasthaus Haslach and leads from the bottom to the top - the recommended walking direction for safety reasons.
