The Rindbach Falls are a waterfall with several steps, the largest of which is around 10 m high. They are located in the municipality of Ebensee am Traunsee in Upper Austria and were designated as a natural monument in 1983 ( list entry ). The waterfalls lie on the border between the Adnet Formation from the Lias and the plate limestone from the Norium . After the ice melted approx. 17,000 years ago, the Rindbach first cut into the heaped gravel and finally into the limestone below.
