Oorsprong Grotto House

One of the falls fell into a 'cave', a house through which the stream flowed high and broke up in a wide curtain of water at the front. In the so-called cave house you could walk under the stream and look out through the waterfall. To the west of the stream stood the tavern 'De Oorsprong', a popular place to have a drink in the 19th century.

The cave house on the Origin Estate was one of the characteristic structures in the park on the estate. The house was already mentioned in 1824 in descriptions of hiking routes around Arnhem. In 1909 the park was renovated and there was no longer room for the cave house. Fortunately, in 2007, with repairs to the stream, the house was placed back. This is also a nice point during a walk around Oosterbeek.

I've been here several times, and I still find it beautiful every time. You can also walk under the water.
