🚰 Continuous water fountain near Zollhaus – cool refreshment along the trail A real insider tip on the Aartal Cycle Path: The acidic water fountain near Zollhaus provides fresh, clear water even on hot days – directly from the tap, always available. Ideal for cyclists and hikers who want to refill their water bottles or simply take a short break. 💧 Tip: Have a cup or bottle handy – the water runs continuously, without the need to press a button. A quiet helper along the trail – and worth its weight in gold, not just in the summer heat.

This popular destination can be reached via a hiking trail. Coming from Nassau, hike through the Mühlbach Valley past the fish ponds to the first newly constructed footbridge. Continue past the path toward Singhofen. The Teufesdell Waterfall is fed by the local "Kernbach," a tributary of the Mühlbach. The Kernbach plunges four meters into the depths here.

A fascinating natural spectacle awaits you between Nassau and Singhofen. The waterfall is approximately 10 meters high and is located in the Teufelsdell forest area, which is part of the "Wälder bei Singhofen" nature reserve.
