The Lierbach stream, also called the Grindenbach, cascades, as a natural waterfall, down seven steps, a total drop of 83 metres.
The waterfalls belonged for centuries to All Saints' Abbey, the ruins of which are only a few hundred metres away.
Because they lie in a deeply incised and narrow valley, they were inaccessible for a long time.
In 1840 the forestry authorities built a path that enabled access to the falls via several flights of steps and bridges.
These are explained during the course of a scenic and circular "Legend Trail", the route of which also passes the waterfalls.
