マインハルトの滝・トップ8

Very beautiful waterfall. There's a bench at the top to relax.

At Hoheneiche there is a beautiful waterfall through which the weir flows.

Immediately before the cycle path junction (KS/ESW/Sontra) there is a weir barrage. A beautiful sight that you can enjoy for a while from a bench.

Look at the waterfall, a true natural highlight and now also a stamp station.

A barrage at the weir where the water rushes over concrete steps into the depths.

Calcareous tuff springs, like here in Elfengrund, are an unusual, rare habitat that needs to be protected. They occur in areas where the groundwater is heavily enriched with dissolved lime. The waterfall in Elfengrund is one of the largest tufa springs in Hesse. The Gatterbach, which rises from nearby springs, has over time piled up the limestone tuff on mosses and formed steps for waterfalls through the constant supply of lime deposits. Due to their porous structure, the limestone tuffs are extremely fragile and therefore endangered. It is therefore forbidden to enter, otherwise the naturally formed structure will be destroyed!
