Unfortunately, you can not approach it directly. He is blocked by a fence, because the houses are collapsing next to it. But you can still look at it very well.

Doesn't look really great among the ruins.

The Beuthenfall car park is located in the middle of the Kirnischtal. If you want to walk or climb the Häntzschelstiege, this is the shortest way there. You can also park mobile. But with my D1 network I have no reception there and you should take this into account. Only coins are accepted. With the E Plus network, someone parked their mobile there (mobile phone parking)

Waterfall can only be seen from the construction fence. Houses are already falling together.

This Lostplace ambience also makes the Beuthenbach am Beuthenfall interesting in a different way.

The Beuthenfall is a small waterfall, but a "ghost place" in the middle of ruined houses - not a really nice spot on earth!

The slowness of the ride with the Kirnitzschtalbahn is a nice end to a strenuous hike. The environment looks just different than when traveling by bus or car.

😎The Beuthenfall is not only a stop on the historic Kirnitzschtalbahn, but also a waterfall whose name is reminiscent of the former wild beekeeping. The Lichtenhain farmers had set up their beehives, the so-called Beuthen, there. As early as 1850, a dam for the small waterfall was built, which is still in use today.

Lichtenhain waterfall:
The originally natural small waterfall of the Lichtenhain village stream in a gorge-like notch between sandstone cliffs above the Kirnitzschtal was increased slightly in 1830 to increase its tourist appeal via a short slope canal and, on the other hand, was staged by a pull-up weir with a gush-like drain. A citizen of Lichtenhain was given the leaseable office of “waterfall puller”. He ran a bar and opened the dam to tourists for a few minutes in exchange for money. The half-timbered restaurant building dates from 1852.

Kirnitzschtalbahn:
The Kirnitzschtal has been bringing visitors for more than 120 years
train hikers to the starting points of their tours
through the rear of Saxon Switzerland. she is
the only tram in the world that runs into one
National Park enters. The Kirnitzschtalbahn
runs every half hour in summer and every half hour in winter
every 70 minutes, on special occasions
historical museum car.

From here to Kuhstall:
The Kuhstall is the second largest rock gate in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains after the Prebischtor. It is located on the Neuer Wildenstein, a 337 m high rock in the Upper Saxon Switzerland that was dominated by Wildenstein Castle in the 15th century.
