Tips from the Community
Many hikers will know and share the feeling that Georg Fahrbach (who was active on the board of the Schwäbischer Albverein for a long time) describes as follows: "and every step we take awakens the blissful feeling of having earth under our feet instead of asphalt or pavement, which does not yield to our step and which makes people so tired... On the narrow meadow paths, on the heath or in the forest, the ground springs under our feet and its momentum is shared with us and our hiking companions. This gives that wonderful stride that brings the necessary relaxation and recovery to mind and spirit."

On the way to the Dreimühlen waterfall, which is well-known beyond the Vulkaneifel region and a popular excursion destination, the hiker sees the limestone rock formation towering over the water a little beforehand. It's a bit reminiscent of the Swabian Jura, as someone told me on the way today.

Some hikers who pass by here might be inspired by the existing stone figures to add another one. Perhaps even with the ambition to erect the tallest of its kind here. Others will – perhaps with a shrug – continue on without paying special attention to the small structures.

The karstified limestone cliffs are the first highlight on the path from the parking lot to the waterfall. Here, the stream has carved its way through the limestone, creating the rock face. The limestone originated as a deposit of dead marine organisms on the seabed of a shallow ocean that covered this area millions of years ago. Later, the ground was uplifted by tectonic processes. Limestone reacts with acid and is therefore dissolved by rainwater and surface water, which is slightly carbonated due to the CO2 in the air. This process creates weathered formations and caves. The formation of the Dreimühlen Waterfall is also related to this process.
