October 5, 2025,Eifel: Klidinger Wasserfall

The highest waterfall in the Eifel, the 28-meter-high Kliding Waterfall, was a must-see on our Tour de Eifel. 😅 Since we were short on time, we wanted to get as close as possible and ended up parking a few kilometers outside of Kliding in an official hiking parking lot. 🅿️

A short hike to the Klidinger Waterfall. For the outward journey, we chose the via ferrata route. Yes, the trail was secured with ropes and steep (you can't tell from the photos), but we didn't have to climb. The return journey was a moderately ascending forest path.
It was a short hike, but it was fun!
