Entry currently costs €15 for adults. The climb is quite pleasant, and the view from the top is, of course, spectacular. You get an even more dramatic view of the Saar Loop than from the Cloef viewpoint. Whether it's worth the entrance fee is something you'll have to decide for yourself.

"Waterfall" is quite a strong word...😂... this is actually an old weir, dilapidated according to the sign... but still perfectly usable for crossing the stream.

From the bridge over the Saar, between Schemlingen and Besseringen, a footpath leads across the road. From here, you have a wonderful view of the beginning of the Saar Loop.
