September 27, 2026,Kerpen ➡️ Dreimühlen Wasserfall -➡️ Niederehe 🔄

After the Teufelsschlucht tour the day before yesterday, my legs were only usable again today. The Dreimühlen waterfall near Nohn was the destination of my hike, which I started at the reservoir parking lot in Kerpen. The waterfall is always a worthwhile destination, it is simply dreamily beautiful there. Despite the summery weather, the crowds were fortunately limited, so I …

The Dreimühlen waterfall near Nohn was to be our destination today. This artificially created waterfall continues to grow due to lime erosion, so it changes its shape every year. The mosses that grow on the limestone and form a "fur" are particularly attractive. But before we reached this special natural spectacle, we first had to check how far the renovation …

I wanted to go to the Dreimühlen waterfall again.

With the weather - which actually wasn't that bad - no crowds were to be expected today.

I started again at the car park near the reservoir in Kerpen. From there the path leads me across fields, through mystical forests and down to the Dreimühlen waterfall. There is already a lot …

Today we had a lovely walk along the Ahbach, Kerpen Castle and the Dreimühlen waterfall. A fantastic tour in perfect weather. As expected, there were lots of people at the waterfall, but surprisingly we didn't see anyone else on the Eifelsteig. A great corner of the Eifel near Berndorf and Hillesheim. Really great views over the Eifel. Interestingly, the waterfall …
