I don't know what the photos were taken under, but after the torrential rain during my hike, the waterfall was a raging torrent through the rocks! But it's also clearly visible from above.

It is worth taking a short detour from the path onto the stones in the stream. Behind a narrow rock passage you can discover the hidden waterfall.

As Verena already mentioned: based on the maps you get the impression that there is no continuous path between the Rütiweid car park and the viewpoint below the Witwald ruins - but in fact there is a narrow path that is marked with white (sometimes also blue) dots on the trees and leads over a steep staircase.
