Landschitz wasserfall

The Landschitz wasserfall is an unknown waterfall in the Lessachtal, north of Lessach in the region Salzburg, Austria.

In Tamsweg take the exit to Lessach. A small road heads into the Lessachtal and ends at a big parking at the Lasshoferalm. The last part of the road is a toll road and July 2022 I had to pay €6. I visited the valley early in the morning and it was a beautiful day. I was the first car on the parking and it was to early to drink something at the restaurant Lasshoferalm.

From the parking walk north for 10 minutes until you see a wooden bridge at the right. There is a sign for the Landschitz wasserfall. Cross the bridge and follow the trail al little up to the first viewpoint. The sun was shining directly above the Landschitz wasserfall, not the best time for good pictures…

Going a little further up I was more lucky, standing on the bridge in front of the waterfall. Here everything was in the shade. I took my time and enjoyed the beautiful surrounding. This is a perfect spot for a good and long walk. I took the same way back but you also can walk further, also to the main path that leads further into the valley.

There is also a small waterfall at the Unterer Landschitzee, a long walk up to an altitude of 1.800 meter. Very beautiful to see.

Late spring and early in the summer the river Landschitzbach plunges down with great power over 15-20 meter. In summertime there is still enough water in the river for a nice and beautiful drop.

If you want to visit another (maybe even better) waterfall in the area, you can visit the Günster wasserfall at Krakaudorf. From Lessach it is only a 35 minute drive.
