Tiefenbach Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Tiefenbach Waterfall near Altenberg.

Information:

Located at approximately 660 meters above sea level, it was artificially created in 1954.

The stamp station is no longer located on-site due to two instances of theft. You can obtain a stamp at the tourist information office in Altenberg by presenting a photo from your visit to the waterfall.

In the historical pewter washing, the show tunnel, the open-air exhibition, the Pinen tour and the mining educational trail, you can experience a wide range of mining activities from centuries-old ore mining underground to modern ore processing.
