The small crack falls are the only waterfalls in the Vogtland. The ditch for the creek was once dug into the rock by hand, as wood was once floated here. Over time, the Weiße Göltzsch stream has worked its way deeper and deeper into the rocky ground. After heavy rains, the crack falls are particularly beautiful.

Zwei Felsen Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The natural monument "Two Rocks" is a rock formation made of greywacke quartzite, which was formed as sandstone in the Lower Ordovician (approx. 480 million years ago). During the Variscan mountain formation, the sandstone was transformed into a metagreywacke through metamorphism under high pressure and temperature. The metamorphic rock found here is also known as "Hoher-Stein-Quarzite" or "Chlorite-Sericite-Quarzite".
