Waterfalls of Bad Gastein
Bad Gastein’s landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes, most famously showcased by the 341-meter central cascade that drops in three stages through the heart of the village. Beyond the town center, the surrounding Hohe Tauern National Park contains numerous alpine falls, including the veil-like Schleierfall in Sportgastein and the glacially-fed Tischlerkarfälle. These sites illustrate the geological power of the Gasteiner Ache and its tributaries, which have shaped the region's history as a thermal spa destination.
