Lichtenhain Waterfall

Lichtenhain Waterfall

The Lichtenhain Waterfall is a waterfall formed by the Lichtenhainer village brook and is situated in the Kirnitzsch Valley in the Saxon Switzerland of Germany.

William Lebrecht Götzinger, chronicler of the Saxon Switzerland, mentioned the waterfall in his 1812 work "Schandau and its environments".

The original waterfall was not impressive enough for tourists, so the brook was dammed up by a pushable weir. Since the Kirnitzsch Valley Railway was opened for the first time in 1898, hundreds of thousands of tourists have visited the waterfall.
