바헨베르크‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

This section along the Kleine Nister is a fantastically beautiful path.

Crossing the Nister over the stepping stones is really fun. It may be a bit difficult for dogs, but in summer the dogs can usually swim through the water and cool off. But there is a bridge a little further in case you can't cross the stepping stones.

the waterfall... artificially created during the construction of the railway 150 years ago, when a loop was shortened to gain building land. there are signs, but there isn't normally that much water. A local attraction.

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. We had only planned a short break and ended up staying at this great location for 90 minutes. On this bike tour, in our opinion, an absolute must.

Tip

A pretty little retreat with benches and history. In addition to the saint whose eyes were (allegedly) healed here, other healed people have also immortalized themselves with stones.

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source: To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem", with a short quatrain: "There is certainly much beauty in on the element, the wet. Because you can drink the water. But you can - also leave it." (H.Erhardt)

"... The Heilbrunnen or sometimes Heiligenbrunnen in the municipality of Windeck in the North Rhine-Westphalian Rhein-Sieg district is located below the village of Ohmbach in the direction of Igelshof. Legend: According to legend, an aristocratic daughter is said to have taken a last rest here in front of the Herchen monastery. She was blind, according to one version, because her father had blinded a commoner for a minor offence. After drinking the water, she was able to see, and the abbess of the Herchen monastery had the spring surrounded. According to this legend, further miraculous healings are said to have happened through the Born. Watercourse: After a few meters, the spring flows into the Heilbrunnensiefen. This in turn flows into the Igelsbach between Werfermühle and Igelshof, which is an orographic left tributary of the Sieg. ..." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heilbrunnen_(Windeck)
