The Dreimühlen waterfall, also referred to as the Nohner waterfall, is an artificial waterfall near Ahütte that was created through the construction of a railway line by merging streams. The waterfall "grows" through limescale deposits. Today the railway line is a cycling and hiking trail.

Narrow Path Along the Ahbach

Highlight • Trail

A narrow path from the waterfall towards Nohner Mühle. You should be sure-footed if you walk here long. It goes over rocks and roots along Ahbach.

river crossing

Highlight • Bridge

Now it is possible to cross the stream at any time without any problems as a new bridge has been built there

Former marble quarry Berndorf

Highlight • Structure

The quarry can only be visited from the barrier because it is not allowed to be entered due to the risk of collapse.

Kerpen Castle (Eifel)

Highlight • Castle

A very beautiful castle, very impressive and certainly the landmark of Kerpen. The castle cannot be visited as it is privately owned, but that is completely fine, you don't have to visit every castle. It's great to hike around the castle and it's also fun to just see the castle.

June 21, 2024,Spaziergang um Burg Kerpen und Wasserfall Dreimühlen

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 …

September 14, 2024,Wasserfall Dreimühlen – Burg Kerpen Runde von Kerpen

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 …

A varied hike from the Nohner Mühle and the Ahlbach.
A popular hiking trail as I found out directly.
There is a large paid car park beforehand. Day ticket 3 euros
It goes past the pretty old mill with a cafe and I plan to stop there immediately afterwards. In the afternoon it was unfortunately too well attended.
The path …
