The waterfall in Katzenloch is fed by the Idarbach and Steinbach streams. The water is also dammed at the Idarbach. However, the sawmill that was powered by the water is no longer supplied with hydropower, so the weir gate is wide open and the waterfall is usually well supplied.

The Stumm brothers established a hammer mill here in 1758, which still exists today, including a small pond.

Nice to look at, but refreshing yourself is difficult due to a lack of suitable access.

Volker's garden tavern, delicious spit-roasted beef and flammkäse! Open from Thursday to Sunday. It's worth it!
