Overview

The Häselgehr Wasserfall is a natural cascade located in the Lechtal Alps within the Austrian state of Tyrol. It is fed by alpine drainage and drops over limestone rock formations typical of the Lech Valley geology. The site is accessible via a short hiking trail that ascends from the valley floor near the village of Häselgehr. It remains a primarily local attraction, offering a vantage point of the surrounding Lechtal Nature Park landscape. The waterfall's volume is heavily dependent on snowmelt cycles during the late spring and early summer months.
