テクレンブルクの滝・トップ6

Beautiful, small pond with waterfall

A nice place to unwind.

There is also a small, free parking lot right next to it.

A beautiful tour with different routes. In addition to cycle paths, there are also quiet stretches

At this point the Stollenbach flows into the Hörsteler Aa

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

Oasis of peace at the mill pond in Mettingen The family circle “St. Agatha” has created a place here on her own initiative to get from to take a breather from everyday life. In green surroundings and the watercourse of the Köllbach you can let your soul unwind.

A small pond provides a habitat for small aquatic animals. I would like to see more done with it.
