In the middle of Hüttingen, the village stream forms this picturesque waterfall next to the church.

Mariengrotte Albach Waterfall

Don't be confused by the "Haus Venus" (the name used to be the program ...) just before it. The Mariengrotte - adorned by believers - with the small waterfall is famous in the region.

The beautiful Mariengrotte (Grotto of the Virgin Mary) with the Albach waterfall is certainly one of the highlights of the 11th stage of the Felsenweg (Rock Trail).

In the immediate vicinity of the Mariengrotte (Grotto of St. Mary) we find this beautiful waterfall of the Albach River. A truly worthwhile photo opportunity.

The stream is mainly formed from the wastewater from the Bitburg sewage treatment plant. Odor nuisance cannot be ruled out under certain circumstances.

Looking for a waterfall with a high viaduct, passable for buses in the Eifel!
