ホンマーディンゲンの滝・トップ16

One of the most beautiful sections of the entire route. Wild, rustic, and beautiful.

A beautiful section of the Hallerbach where the hiking trail sometimes even runs on stones in the water.

Beautiful path along the water. There is a lot to discover. You need some time

Indescribably beautiful, wild and romantic stream. The path runs mostly right next to the water and can be very muddy in places after rainfall. There are two stream crossings over stepping stones, which can be flooded depending on the water level. It is recommended to take the path uphill towards the chateau. Then the small waterfalls and rapids can be admired particularly well.

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)

The wild and romantic valleys of the Haupeschbaach and the Halerbaach are fascinating. Small wooden bridges, lush moss growth and huge boulders characterize the landscape.

a stone overgrown with plants from which water continuously drips.

The path goes directly along the Hallerbach. The stream has many beautiful spots. We were there in early spring, with the fresh green leaves on the trees.
