The Seerenbach Falls are a series of three consecutive waterfalls above Lake Walen in the canton of St Gallen in Switzerland. The falls drop a total of 585 meters from top to bottom with the second waterfall itself being the second-highest waterfall in Switzerland after the Mürrenbach falls.
The falls are an integral part of the Rin spring which is deep inside the Churfirsten mountains. The spring originates from a large cavern under the mountains that goes some 3000m inside it.
