You can't see much from the path in summer. The banks are quite overgrown. However, you can hear the brook babbling.

Plästerlegge is the highest natural waterfall in the Sauerland and North Rhine-Westphalia. It is located east of the Bestwig district of Wasserfall...in summer the view of the waterfall is limited due to the vegetation, but it was still very worthwhile and impressive! Very nice tour, with great views!@Uwe Thank you for planning and accompanying us...it was a great day 🤗

The view of the Stüppe and of course the tower …

Our second destination was the Stüppel Tower on the Stüppel mountain (732 m). The tower is 57 meters high, and the viewing …
