쉼베르크‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 폭포

The figure depicting Storm's Regentrude was created by Christoph Haupt in 2007 on the occasion of the 200th birthday of the writer, who spent eight years as a district judge in Heiligenstadt between 1856 and 1864.

Very beautiful waterfall. There's a bench at the top to relax.

It is worth taking a moment here to listen to the noise.

Somewhat hidden behind the bandstand is the 7-meter-high Geislede waterfall. An impressive photo opportunity that inspired Theodor Storm's story "The Rain Maiden."

The Geislede, the river that flows into the Leine at the edge of the park, plunges about seven meters down the sandstone in the spa park. Theodor Storm was inspired by this natural waterfall for the famous story "The Regentrude". The life-size wooden sculpture "Regentrude" by artist Christoph Haupt, to the left of the bridge over the Geislede, is one of a total of nine wooden sculptures that can be viewed on the Heiligenstadt Sculpture Trail.

Look at the waterfall, a true natural highlight and now also a stamp station.

Calcareous tuff springs, like here in Elfengrund, are an unusual, rare habitat that needs to be protected. They occur in areas where the groundwater is heavily enriched with dissolved lime. The waterfall in Elfengrund is one of the largest tufa springs in Hesse. The Gatterbach, which rises from nearby springs, has over time piled up the limestone tuff on mosses and formed steps for waterfalls through the constant supply of lime deposits. Due to their porous structure, the limestone tuffs are extremely fragile and therefore endangered. It is therefore forbidden to enter, otherwise the naturally formed structure will be destroyed!

A beautifully prepared facility for hikers
