Upper part of highest alpine waterfall, a photo from Sankt Gallen, East

Photographer's Note

The highest alpine waterfall (800 meters vertical drop, which makes it the third highest in the world) falls in three steps.

It has in average around a dozen visitors a day.

The upper section is completely dry most of the days. 25 mm (one inch) precipitation in one day will feed it for a few hours.

This perspective, where the lowest section is at the same height as where the waterfall begins, helps to explain why.

Hi Francis,
Great view! Good composition, and I like the hut at the bottom. Never heard of this fall. Well, waterfall without water is not what tourists are after.
