ゼンシャイトのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The karstified limestone cliffs are the first highlight on the path from the parking lot to the waterfall. Here, the stream has carved its way through the limestone, creating the rock face. The limestone originated as a deposit of dead marine organisms on the seabed of a shallow ocean that covered this area millions of years ago. Later, the ground was uplifted by tectonic processes. Limestone reacts with acid and is therefore dissolved by rainwater and surface water, which is slightly carbonated due to the CO2 in the air. This process creates weathered formations and caves. The formation of the Dreimühlen Waterfall is also related to this process.

The Dohl Cross or Scher Cross near Hoffeld is a historic pilgrimage site on the way to the pilgrimage church in Barweiler. Pilgrims gather here in small groups or individually to make the journey to "Our Lady of the Lily, Queen of Peace" as a larger community.
