The waterfall was already protected in the GDR as a monument of production and traffic history. It is fed by the stream with the current name "Königsfließ".

In 1876, the bottom of the sill was fixed to allow a controlled drainage. The waterfall is considered the highest in northern Germany.

The border between Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt cuts through the Breddiner Schweiz. On the Brandenburg side, Breddiner Switzerland belongs to the Ostprignitz-Ruppin region.

In the small community of Kümmernitz, attentive visitors can spot the sign saying "Wasserfall". The waterfall is hidden in the forest, but with a little sense of direction you can find it quickly.

The waterfall is a human-made construction, but it is still worth seeing. A notice board describes it as the highest waterfall of its kind in northern Germany.

Whether the water falls or not is decided by the weather conditions and the beavers that live on the Königsfließ. In dry years or when the Nagezahn family has dammed the Königsfließ further up, the waterfall turns into a pathetic trickle.

Even if the water doesn't rush into the depths, you don't have to be disappointed as a visitor. A walk along the Königsfließ or a hike through Breddiner Switzerland, which is covered with mighty beeches, is worthwhile at any time of the year.
