The waterfall of the ferry stream is one of the three larger waterfalls on the Patensteig, which are also among the four "highest" in the Extertal. Of course, they are only particularly attractive when there is a good water flow.

If you follow the Weser from the north through the Porta Westfalica, you will reach the Extertal near Rinteln. The stream of the same name meanders through picturesque valleys that are only sparsely populated. A paradise not only for hiking, but also ideal for long bike and motorbike tours.
