작센 스위스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 폭포

It's just incredibly beautiful here 😊.

The power plant is based on a weir system built in 1877, which initially powered neighboring machines in the Weber & Niezel wood grinding and cardboard factory via transmission. In 1910, a Francis turbine and electric generator with an installed capacity of 180 kW were commissioned to generate electrical energy. This was followed in 1932 by the addition of a second turbine with 80 kW. After the Second World War, the weir system was partially repaired in 1963. In 1969, the power plant was shut down due to uneconomical operation, and the facility was left to decay.

There is an impressive lost place by the rushing stream!

A very idyllic atmosphere. The hotel project seems to have been dying since 2016. There is no visible activity in or around the property.

A very idyllic landscape that is very impressive. Plenty of water rushing past.

The head is 10.4 m and has an installed capacity of 215 kW with a flow rate of up to 2.6 m³/s.

Closed from 16 June until 27 July 2025 due to repair work on the path and embankment. We saw the signs with this notice yesterday, 12 June.

It's a shame, but that's probably typical for us Germans these days. We have to fight for the opening. Man, open it again. Unfortunately, I don't remember it being open anymore. It must have been very nice here once.
