Wonderful panorama view of the Leech lake and waterfall, especially from the main bridge. It's definetely worth stopping by if you are in the area, such as for visiting the historic castles. You don't need a ticket for this one. There is also a free small parking lot in front of the main scenic spot, as well as clean toilets. PS: This waterfall is man-made.

This man made waterfall is a wonder to see. Very beautiful. The footbridge over the river is a great view point. Not if you are afraid of heights though!

We took a lovely hike through the park to get to the falls and it is stunning! The trail was very close to our hotel in Fussen. Highly recommend!

These falls were about 30 minutes from our hotel in the centre of Fussen. We walked along the river Lech to reach the falls. The gorge and falls are beautiful and well worth the short walk. We combined our visit with the tree top walk which is just up the road on the Austrian border. We walked back to Fussen along the footpath next to the road.

That's really about it. There are 50c loos around the corner if you need them, otherwise not much to say.

Beautiful and powerful falls but make sure you do it when the river is lowish. I went after it rained and the water height was up and I couldn’t see the steps properly. Still a great site and must see when in Fussen.

The Lech falls over 5 steps. Nice to look at when in the area. In spring, after the snow has melted, probably the most beautiful.
There is a small parking lot directly at the Lechfall. You can park there for free. It's not even 100 meters on foot. Especially in the early morning hours or towards evening there are fewer tourists on site. It is also even more beautiful when the sun rises / sets behind the mountains and trees.
Certainly not a top-class natural spectacle, but still worth a visit if you are in the area. There is a small kiosk across the street.
Easy to reach, even with a stroller or something else.
On the opposite side of the street, at the kiosk, it goes up to the Kalvarienberg. It offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. However, some stamina and good shoes are recommended. The way up is steep and long

Nice walk from the city center to the Fall and back. The view is really nice and the walk accessible. It is also accessible by car. If you choose to walk with a Buggy, there are few stairs to consider.

The waterfall is located just outside central Füssen, a 10 minute walk towards the Austrian border.
The waterfall itself is not very spectacular, but it's located in a nice setting and definitely worth a visit.
Entrance is free.

There is a bridge over the falls.If you cross it you can either walk to Bad Faulenbach or walk to Vils in Austria.Well signposted so should be easy for you to find.

Can I get to the Kalvarienberg hike from Lechfall? We are looking to do a several hour hike during our visit to Fussen and don't want to have to drive far. Thanks!
