The 17 best waterfalls in Europe that tourists have never heard of

Europe is full of incredible yet underrated waterfalls — if you know where to find them.

We've put together a ranking of some of the most beautiful, often overlooked waterfalls on the continent, based on how impressive and well-known they are.

From quaint waterfalls nestled in the woods to grand streams that spill over Alpine mountains, here are 17 lesser-known waterfalls on the continent that are worth visiting:

17. Venture into Northern Ireland's Tollymore Forest Park to find this small but glorious waterfall tucked amid the trees. The park is so picturesque it was used as a filming location for "Game of Thrones."

16. Take a tram fuelled by solar power to reach Lichtenhain Waterfall in Saxony, Germany, a natural waterfall that's been boosted with a small dam to increase its stream power. In two-hour increments, the dam gate is opened to release torrents of water. There's even music to mark the occasion.

15. Most people visit the village of Bagni San Filippo in Tuscany to see the natural hot springs there, but the pretty waterfalls tumbling into thermal pools are often forgotten.
