Best Hikes to Tinkel Chapel Above the Waterfall
Tips
Pretty little chapel on the slate rock above the waterfall. The stairs should be climbed with caution, as they are often slippery! The crevice in the rock at the waterfall, whose jagged profile can be interpreted as a chicken's head and is therefore called "det Hinkel", has given the chapel towering above it the name Tinkel Chapel.

In the 18th century the small chapel was built on a rock above the waterfall, which was popularly called "det Hinkel".
Over time it became "Tinkel" and the chapel is now known by this name.translated by•April 16, 2019
