Bächeweg Waterfall near Christerode

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

A very beautiful, approximately 9-kilometer circular hiking trail around the Christerode waterfall. There's a small parking lot for hikers from where you can start. Signage is clear throughout, and the atmosphere is pure idyllic in any season!

Antriftwehr with small waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Here, the drift is slightly dammed, which makes for a wonderfully splashing, but sometimes thunderous waterfall, depending on the season or the water level. A lovely place, especially in summer. You can cool down here wonderfully!

April 6, 2026, Bächeweg Waterfall near Christerode

Very beautiful circular trail, e.g. as a starting point for the waterfall near Christerode. The circular trail (Bächeweg) is about 8.2 km long and is actually very easy to walk. The signage is really very good,

Great opportunity to relax - there are plenty of benches, the pond is extremely well maintained and invites you to linger. Highly Recommended!

There has always been a natural waterfall where the Buchenbach squeezes its way through the rocks in a shady, narrow gorge. In the early 1920s, in a small basalt quarry, stones for road construction began to be mined directly in front of it. When the company was shut down, the quarry gradually fell into disrepair and was misused as a wild garbage dump. With the start of land restructuring in Christerode in 1971, the plan was drawn up to expand this former quarry into a small pond. A dilapidated irrigation ditch was renewed to supply water. This is how today's waterfall was created, which falls over an approximately 11 m high cliff into the pond. The waterfall hut was built by the citizens of Christeröd themselves. The entire facility was put into operation in 1974 and has been maintained and cared for by the local fishing club ever since. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christerode
