    The highest waterfall in Saxony is man-made, but you can't tell by looking at it.

    "After the First World War, the owner of the Toellische paper factory had a new ditch dug above a steep rock face in order to use the water to drive his turbines. On public holidays and Sundays, the machines stood still and the water was diverted over the rock face and from there rushed into the valley."

      Very pretty and not so small waterfall, definitely worth a visit!

        The largest waterfall in Saxony and one of the highest German waterfalls outside the Alps is located in the immediate vicinity of Blauenthal. This former site of a flour and board mill was bought by Andreas Blau around 1530 and converted into a hammer mill. After the First World War, the owner of the paper factory had a new ditch dug above a steep rock face in order to use the water to drive his turbines. On Sundays and public holidays, the machines stood still and the water rushed down into the valley.
