ハルスドルフの滝・トップ12

Beautiful hiking trail from the Devil's Gorge down to the suspension bridge. Very muddy and slippery in wet weather.

Very refreshing in summer! The tear lay is a lime sinter grotto worth seeing, in which lime deposits have given rise to unusual rock shapes. The explanation for this phenomenon: When rainwater seeps through the thick layer of sandstone on the plateau, it dissolves the calcareous binder that holds the quartz grains of the rock together. Where spring water emerges on slopes and valleys, but also on the banks of streams or rivers, the carbonic acid escapes from the soluble lime compound, the water evaporates and what remains is almost pure limestone. It is called lime sinter or lime tuff. The lime sinter settles along the flow paths of the water and covers mosses and plant parts with a stone crust. This is how fascinating rock shapes are created. The process of tufa formation continues steadily, the rocks "grow" like stalactites. (Source: www.naturpark-suedeifel.de)

a stone overgrown with plants from which water continuously drips.

The tear lay is right on the road on the German side near the bridge to Dillingerbrück. Drops of water continuously trickle down from a larger moss-covered rock. It's raining even in the cave. Apparently the whole thing is fed by a stream above. Worth seeing!

if you want to get in you get very wet

Very nice, sometimes muddy path on a great stream with small waterfalls and cascades. It's worth incorporating into a small hike of your own or, for hikers who know your physical condition, into a tour around the Teufelsschlucht. I would recommend going uphill. One of the Devil's Paths also uses this section. I don't know which direction is recommended, because I put the tours together on komoot in advance.

Several beautiful little waterfalls accompany this trail! Very nice!

At the bottom of the Prüm the stream is called "Hälbach", on the map with Waldhofbach? I can only recommend exploring the path and the stream from the bottom of the Prüm to the top! There are many small waterfalls to see. There are a few muddy spots along the way.
