Hiking

This is not a waterfall in the traditional sense. The neighboring former Leesten watermill is a historic mill in the municipality of Strullendorf, boasting a long tradition and now considered an important cultural monument. The current listed building dates back to the 18th century. It is a characteristic half-timbered house in a quiet location on the outskirts of Leesten. The mill was once powered by the water of the Leesten stream. Remnants of the old millrace are still visible on the slope above the building.

Hiking

The water required to operate the mill wheel of the Leesten Mill was diverted from the Ziegenbach stream by damming the stone weir as needed.

Icicles can be admired in subzero temperatures.
