It's very, very rare for the Mittelbach Falls to carry water. For that to happen, it would have to have rained heavily or melted a lot of snow. So, it's important to stop for a moment and remember that you've just witnessed a small "miracle."

The entire park is beautiful, but it's a strange feeling when you watch the spa guests in the water or behind glass, a bit like in the zoo 🤓🤣
