Harter Schleierwasserfall
The Harter Schleierwasserfall (Veil Waterfall) near Fugen in the Zillertal drops 91 meters in a thin curtain of water down a limestone cliff. The "Schleier" (veil) name is accurate: the water disperses over the rock face rather than falling as a concentrated stream, creating the thin white spread that characterizes this type of alpine fall.
