The small waterfall in front of us was artificially created 150 years ago. A cold water facility for spa patients was set up in the old monastery buildings around 1842. A covered artificial waterfall was created in the lower reaches of the Lutter as a so-called "shower" for spa guests. (Source: Schild)
