Europe’s most beautiful waterfalls

Europe isn’t just about architecture, sightseeing and shopping. It is also the incredible beauty created not only by human hands, but also by Mother Nature herself. Hidden amongst the marvellous green areas are places which will make every traveller’s heart swoon with their unrivalled charm. Some of these “inhabitants” are waterfalls which can be found in almost every European country. But there are those that everyone should see.

Steubenfall, Austria

Stuibenfall is the highest waterfall in the Austrian city of Tyrol. It reaches 159 metres and has two cascades.
