Described above is the upper waterfall, the "Rünenberger Gießen", where the water falls over a curved rock face 18 m into the depths, forming a stately tufa pyramid below, with the jet atomizing roaring and foaming depending on the water level. In winter, fascinating icicle formations are created at sub-zero temperatures. Above the waterfall is the "Löligumpi", where you could swim in the past. A little further down follows the Kleine Giessen - also with a beautiful tuff cone.

Very wide erosion funnels with benches in the rock. The two-part waterfall can also be climbed completely for the brave.2

A fabulous place. Fortunately, it's not overcrowded, which is probably due in part to the fact that access is via narrow, sometimes steep paths. From above, you can't really see how beautiful the waterfall is. The walk is worth it!

A wonderful tour with many highlights that should not be underestimated. It is said that the Bruderloch cave goes several 100 meters into the rock - so please do not explore alone. A flashlight is essential. Water ingress must be expected. Entry is with an approx. 2 meter high ladder.

A detour that simply belongs to Wildenstein Castle. A must in spring for all wild garlic lovers. Stopover on the way to the Gutenfels ruins.
