The waterfall was created in 1859 during the expansion and redesign of the spa park into an English landscape garden by the renowned landscape architect Heinrich Siesmayer. He used the gradient between the higher-lying Großer Teich and the Kleiner Teich to integrate this artificial but natural-looking cascade waterfall as a visual and acoustic highlight.

At this point, you have a very nice view of Friedberg and Ockstadt and the Wetterau. A pity, a resting place at this spot would be very nice.

Goldstein Park is something like the "second big park" in Bad Nauheim 🌳✨, alongside the more famous Kurpark. It's quieter, a bit more wildly landscaped, and a real insider tip for walkers and families. The Bad Nauheim Planet Trail is an astronomical educational trail that depicts the solar system at a scale of 1:1 billion. This means: 1 meter on the trail = 1 million kilometers in space 🌍☀️ So you can "hike" the entire solar system on foot – from tiny Mercury to distant Pluto.
