March 18, 2026, Rünenberger Giessen

Described above is the upper waterfall, the "Rünenberger Gießen", where the water falls over a curved rock face 18 m into the depths, forming a stately tufa pyramid below, with the jet atomizing roaring and foaming depending on the water level. In winter, fascinating icicle formations are created at sub-zero temperatures. Above the waterfall is the "Löligumpi", where you could swim in the past. A little further down follows the Kleine Giessen - also with a beautiful tuff cone.

An artfully constructed, narrow path leads to the Sormatt waterfall. Accessible either from the Arxhof road or from Wildenstein Castle. Due to the extensive use of wood, the path can be very slippery when wet.

Very wide erosion funnels with benches in the rock. The two-part waterfall can also be climbed completely for the brave.2

A detour that simply belongs to Wildenstein Castle. A must in spring for all wild garlic lovers. Stopover on the way to the Gutenfels ruins.
