From the pilgrimage church, you can reach the waterfall along the small Martenbach stream. It's not a big waterfall, but it's very pretty to look at, as it literally rushes down over thick stones for a few meters.

Today we went hiking in the Enderttal. In 2019, the hike in the Enderttal from Ulmen to Cochem (approx. 21 km) was named the most beautiful hiking trail in Germany.
Today we decided on one of the possible circular routes from Martental Monastery.

This morning from the pilgrimage church Maria Martental via "Ortswanderweg 7" into the Endert valley. Past the "Maxmehrmühle". To the waterfall "Die Rausch". Through the valley of the wild Endert. Via the Way of the Cross back to the pilgrimage church. Mostly shady paths, romantic valley.
Have a nice weekend.

My approach path was …
