The waterfall of the ferry stream is one of the three larger waterfalls on the Patensteig, which are also among the four "highest" in the Extertal. Of course, they are only particularly attractive when there is a good water flow.

May 31, 2025,Weg der Blicke – Verlobungsbank Runde von Rott

The Patensteig trail is great, but you shouldn't start the tour from Rott. Otherwise, about 4 km of the route will be on a busy county road with no shoulder!

September 11, 2022,Viele bunte Schilder – Rickbachwasserfälle Runde von Laßbruch

Did a small round on the Patensteig right next to the Weserbergland today. Thanks to the many colorful signs, you couldn't get lost. The waterfall should be the highlight. Oh well. A lot of water has to fall from the sky before it runs properly again.

A wonderful round in fantastic weather
☀️🥾🐕🥾☀️
We started hiking at around 9.30 a.m. from the Patensteig car park. At this time there was absolutely nothing going on there 😁 When we got back there at around 1 p.m., the parking lot and the shoulders were jam-packed, so we definitely recommend starting relatively early in the morning 😉

A really nice round. The path is very varied and requires good shoes and a good physical condition. Along the way you will see many beautiful signs and waterfalls. You can leave a greeting in a guest book. I hardly met any people on the way, but lots of cows, sheep and goats.
