This small waterfall is located on the shady/cool "higher" climb to the Bismarck Tower. This makes a detour particularly interesting in autumn (leaf coloring) and in midsummer ("cooler" route). 😎

Sirzenicher Gorge is beautiful. You have to cross the creek several times. If that is too difficult, you can also choose the easy path nearby.
