Only in winter does water really run down the cascade, otherwise it's rather modest. Various people have set up small stone pyramids there.

Unfortunately, it was closed during my visit, but it is a very beautiful and imposing fortification in the style of a moated castle.

Good and quiet cycle path along the beautiful river Kyll. It is almost flat here so there is not much to climb, but you can cycle nicely.
