Directly behind the Sieg waterfall, some smart and creative people have opened the ELMORES beer garden and lounge on the old copper works site. There are many bizarre things to discover. The break is also enriched with many tasty snacks or waffles and cakes in the afternoon. If you like, you can also enjoy one of the numerous well-made cocktails.

Hiking trail with great impressions

The Sieg waterfall in Schladern was created during the construction of the railway from Cologne to Giessen in 1857 and 1858. The loops that the Sieg still makes through the idyllic landscape today posed a number of problems for the engineers. These were solved by energetic interventions in nature. They blasted away parts of a mountain and gave the river a new course. The original Sieg loop was closed down and partially filled in for the railway line. In order to compensate for the gradient, the waterfall was finally created, which visitors today admire as a “natural spectacle”. The waterfall cascades down over four meters in several stages over a width of 84 meters. There is a beer garden right next to it. Bikers only meet there on weekends, which means it is quite loud.
