It is also called the "Sounding Waterfall". When everything is frozen, icicles form that resemble organ pipes. It could also be due to meltwater, which then "soundingly" splashes out from under the frozen icicles.

Depending on the water level, a nice little waterfall with seating, or if there is less water, a great place for the kids to dig in the sand and build a dam. A small path leads there, which is only completely continuous when there is little water. But please be careful: Unfortunately there are a lot of broken glass there, as it is obviously a popular place for party parties. Take a garbage bag with you and don't necessarily let the kids run barefoot.
