The Partschinser Waalweg is one of the oldest Waalweg in the Burggrafenamt. This was built in the 15th century by the counts of Spikeburg and is therefore half a millennium old. Today it is still used to irrigate the Partschins orchards and is surrounded by sparse birch groves and rich vegetation. At the eastern end of the Waalweg you can see a prehistoric residential stone and a prehistoric bowl stone (Copper Age).

Small waterfall that wets the steep rock face. The water comes from the Zielspitze, as does the next waterfall that flows into the Lahnbach.
