Schiessentümpel

Why visit

Schiessentümpel is a concise introduction to the scenery that gives Müllerthal its reputation: dark woodland, sandstone, a narrow stream and paths shaped by steep terrain. The waterfall itself is modest in scale, but the three channels beneath the stone bridge form a recognisable focal point within a much larger walking landscape. It works best when treated as part of a short hike rather than a roadside photograph. Nearby forest paths extend the experience into ravines and rock formations, showing how water has cut through the region’s sandstone plateau.

What you will see

• Three-channel waterfall.
• Historic stone bridge.
• Black Ernz stream.
• Woodland paths through sandstone terrain.

History

The waterfall is a natural feature of the Black Ernz in the Müllerthal region. The small stone bridge above it dates from 1879 and became closely associated with the site’s appearance. Over time the waterfall and surrounding paths have become a well-known point within the region’s broader network of woodland walks and sandstone formations.
