The above-mentioned Möhne Waterfall is not a waterfall in the usual sense. Rather, it is an artificially created dam in the Möhne River, from which an equally artificially created moat (mill race) was diverted, which in earlier times powered a grain mill. Today, the water in the former mill building still powers a generator to generate electricity. Like many rivers, there are several such dams on the Möhne (some up to about 2 meters high). The hydropower was used, among other things, for wood processing (sawmills) and stone processing (see, for example, the marble and granite processing by Dassel).
