Europe Waterfalls

Europe Waterfalls aren't normally what one thinks about when the name "Europe" springs up. Indeed, this compact continent probably boasts the densest collection of countries and diversity of people of any continent on the planet. And with this comes a good deal of history, architecture, cultures, languages, and activities.

And while the classic European tour typically doesn't include waterfalls, we think it's a shame because the continent has its share of Nature and waterfalls. So it's with this in mind that we intend to explore the continent with a healthy balance of both cultural and natural attractions (namely waterfalls and any other incidental scenic landmarks).

Thus far, we've only gone waterfalling in Switzerland, Croatia, and Greece. We've also gone waterfalling in Norway and Iceland, but these regions each have so many waterfalls that we gave them their own special pages on this website.

We foresee ourselves returning to Europe in the future, and we'll be sure to fit in waterfalls no matter which country we go to whether they're waterfall sightings from Scotland, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, etc. etc. Ah, so many places... so little time (and money)!

EUROPE WATERFALLS

Below are the Europe Waterfalls that we have been to. Click on a region or a waterfall for more details about them.

Norway: This Scandinavian Nation has so many waterfalls packed within its mountains and fjords that we've devoted a special section strictly for the waterfalls of this country. It's one of our favorite countries for waterfalling and you can see for yourself why this is the case by browsing through this section...

Iceland: This island country is the westernmost European country as it sits right on the fiery boundary of the North American and European tectonic plates. And with this combination of fire and ice, there are a plethora of waterfalls in settings as raw and wild as the geologic forces that have made the island. Thus, we've also devoted a special section for the waterfalls in this country and see for yourself the overwhelming quantity and quality of the falls that exist here...

Switzerland: This country has it all - the mountains, the charming towns, perhaps the best quality of life, and let's not forget... the waterfalls! There's a reason why Disney and Bollywood choose to film their escapist works here. And we think after giving it a go exploring the Nature that's here, you'll be smitten with its beauty just like we've been. Perhaps so much so that it might be your voice that's heard yodeling on a mountain...

Croatia: This country is making a comeback big time in tourism. And it's fortunate for us that it has not only managed to retain its charm in its towns and cities but also preserve (for the most part) some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. So far it seems that some parts of the country are on the mass tourism radar, but there are also other parts that have still escaped the crush. And it's up to you to see for yourself why we think this is one of the more charming places in Europe you'll see..

Greece: In this country, you're never far from history. For you'll find yourself face-to-face with ruins thousands of years old juxtaposed with modern buildings bustling with both tourists and locals alike. And if it's not the ancient ruins, you might gaze up at Medieval cliffhanging monasteries or Byzantine fortress walls overlooking a modern city. Heck, even by some of country's waterfalls, you could find yourself visiting archaeological sites relating to these waterfalls. Indeed, it's that kind of place, and you'll have to come here to appreciate how nature and human history interact...

Reader Submissions: We can't possibly visit every single waterfall in Europe. Fortunately, there are readers kind enough to share their knowledge and experiences by writing up their own guides for those waterfalls that we haven't been to.
