Description

Start your accessible travel adventure at the parking lot near the Forest Experience Center in Pinswang and follow the well-maintained trail, which takes you along the picturesque Tree-Top Trail and the Riparian Forest Trail. After just a few hundred meters, you’ll reach the Bavarian border and, shortly thereafter, the impressive Lech Falls in Füssen. By this point, you’ll have covered only about one kilometer.

From the accessible viewing platform, you can watch as the Lech plunges over a historic weir into a narrow gorge—a natural spectacle that unfolds in all its power, especially in the early summer months after the snowmelt. Informative displays explain the origins and historical significance of this site.

If you’d like to get even closer to the action, you can descend a staircase to the Maxsteg, which leads to the other side of the river. From here, you can marvel even more at the impressive natural scenery and the historic flood marks. Please note: The bridge is not accessible to people with disabilities; only the viewing platform is accessible.

The Lech Falls attract well over 100,000 visitors annually, making them one of the most visited attractions in Füssen. Enjoy this short but impressive trip, which brings natural history and cultural heritage to life.
