ホッホシャイトの天然記念物・トップ20

The waterfall is located in the Tiefenbach valley, above the old town of Bernkastel. A very beautiful hiking trail leads to this truly spectacular waterfall!

💙It's wonderful to walk along the rushing stream🌊 A great photo location at the waterfall 📸🎨🖌🌊💙, wonderfully fresh - which is so good, especially in the warmer season ☀️🌡🤗. 👌🏼Absolutely recommended 👍🏻

The waterfall is great. And the area is completely different from the other side of the Moselle!

Viewpoint

A path leads very close to the beautiful waterfall. You can also get to the water and very close to the waterfall. A decent amount of water in rainy May 2024

Beautiful castle ruins, a great dream loop starts here. But it's still worth a visit.

A very nice path through the moor

From 1315 it was built by Archbishop Baldwin of Trier to secure the electorate of Trier. The castle was primarily aimed against the Counts of Sponheim. The counts were rival territorial lords of Trier in this area. In 1332, Balduin received city rights for a settlement near Baldenau from Emperor Ludwig in a collective privilege; in the end, however, such a founding never came about. The castle gave its name to the electoral office of Baldenau, which included fifteen surrounding villages. Two bailiffs, Rulmann von Partenheim and Clas von Nattenheim, have survived in the 15th century. Also in the 15th century, the castle and office were pledged to nobles, an indication of the low importance of the castle at that time. After being damaged several times during the Thirty Years' War, it was repaired as early as 1649, but was finally permanently destroyed in 1689 during the Palatinate War of Succession by French troops under Louis XIV. from 1982 the ruins were secured. In 1981 and 1982, the ruin served as the setting for the first part of Edgar Reitz's Heimat trilogy.
