The Hausbach stream plunges down several steps, offering visitors a fascinating natural spectacle. A hiking trail with walkways and bridges leads directly through the narrow gorge, allowing visitors to experience the waterfall up close. Especially in spring, when meltwater causes the stream to swell, the Hausbachfall reveals its full power. It is a popular destination for families, nature lovers, and hikers who want to enjoy the unique combination of water, rock, and forest.

Reit im Winkl's waterfall, the Hausbachfall, is a small landmark of the town. The Hausbach stream rushes down the Hausberg mountain in the north, very close to the town center. Especially after heavy rainfall, enormous masses of water rush down through the gorge. In hot, dry summers, however, it is sometimes barely visible. The small bridge just behind the Kriegerkapelle chapel is a popular spot for selfies and other souvenir photos. Source: https://www.reitimwinkl.de/wasserfall
