The Geislede plunges about seven meters down the red sandstone cliffs in the middle of Heiligenstadt. Then it flows through Heinrich Heine Park and flows into the Leine. A romantic piece of nature in the middle of the city.

The Geislede, the river that flows into the Leine at the edge of the park, plunges about seven meters down the sandstone in the spa park. Theodor Storm was inspired by this natural waterfall for the famous story "The Regentrude". The life-size wooden sculpture "Regentrude" by artist Christoph Haupt, to the left of the bridge over the Geislede, is one of a total of nine wooden sculptures that can be viewed on the Heiligenstadt Sculpture Trail.

The figure depicting Storm's Regentrude was created by Christoph Haupt in 2007 on the occasion of the 200th birthday of the writer, who spent eight years as a district judge in Heiligenstadt between 1856 and 1864.
