Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

The Eger waterfall in the Thuswald in Röslau is a relic of the industrialization of the late 19th century. century. Oskar Böttcher tapped into a source of energy by building a two and a half kilometer long canal to operate a turbine and founded the cardboard factory in Thus in 1886. The water of the Eger fell about thirty meters onto the impellers of the turbine, which is still in operation today. The Eger Waterfall is the overflow of the canal.
Through Böttcher's entrepreneurial commitment, the idyllic gem in the Thuswald came into being, which had already fascinated the people of Röslau in 1923. They designed a natural stage in the Thuswald, on which they performed the operetta "Die Winzerliesel" in 1923 and 1924 in front of around two thousand spectators. The operetta plays were not continued, but since 1928 the people of Röslau have been using the Thuswald to celebrate their forest festival - always on Pentecost Sunday. The lock is also opened on this day and the largest waterfall in the Fichtelgebirge can then be admired again.

Once a year, at Pentecost, the highest waterfall in the Fichtelgebirge can be admired here. On this occasion, the weir from the Mühlen Bach is opened for the Thus Festival. This winter the nearby creek flooded and accidentally created a waterfall.
