For your information: Of the attached pictures, the two with the calmer water are from our visit 2 years ago in good weather, the other picture is from this year in rainy weather.
The Lechfall is definitely worth a visit! We visited the Lechfall 2 years ago, so this is the second time. Unlike then, the Lech was very grey due to the weather and the water just shot over the Lechfall. Last time we had better weather, which meant that the water was a beautiful bluish color and the Lechfall was not so wild.
The place offers a few opportunities for taking photos, and there are also toilets on site. The only thing that is very unfortunate is the parking situation. There are only about 10-15 parking spaces, no more. Getting a parking space there is practically impossible, unless you go late at night and/or in bad weather.
All in all, the Lechfall is definitely worth a visit!

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.

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.

On the outskirts of Füssen, you will find the Lechfall, which is around 12 metres high and has 5 stages. You can easily combine the visit with a day trip to Füssen, there are various hiking trails. You can cross the bridge at the viewing platform and go back through the forest to the town centre of Füssen, or you can also take the main road. Depending on the time of year, the Lechfall sometimes has more or less water...

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.

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.

We walked from feet about 20 min. to Lechfall. A nice little walk and you are at your destination.
The Lechfall is a dam, over which the water (turquoise blue) falls over 5 steps about 12 m. From the bridge you have a wonderful view of the Lechfall and the Lech Gorge. Worth seeing!

The Lech Falls can be found on the way out of Füssen heading towards Austria.There is a very small carpark which is shared with the Steakhouse and the Kalvarienberg.It is really best to either walk or cycle to this tourist atraction.The best time to view these falls is either after very heavy rainfall in the Austrian Alps further up the river or when the snow is melting.There is a footbridge across the falls which was put in place in the last couple of years.It has raised the hieght of the bridge so it is safer when the river is in flood mode.Many tourists stop and make photos.You can also cross the bridge and take a liesurely walk to Bad Faulenbach and the Mittel & Obersees.

A short walk from the town of Füssen to Lechfall. There is a bridge across the Lech with stairstep levels of water flow. Probably a 20 minute visit.

Lechfall is a hidden gem in Fussen. The views there are simply gorgeous. It seems quite remote, but in fact, It's just a 15-minute walk from the old town. Not to be missed when visiting Fussen.

Ja, es gibt eine Aussichtsplattform, direkt an der Straße, eine Brücke über den Lechfall und am Fels gegenüber der Straße.

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!
