I don't know what the photos were taken under, but after the torrential rain during my hike, the waterfall was a raging torrent through the rocks! But it's also clearly visible from above.

A magnificent spot. The roaring water is magnificent, and it's considerably cooler around here than outside this area. Here, the Giessen flows from above over the rocks down into the Eibach.

It is worth taking a short detour from the path onto the stones in the stream. Behind a narrow rock passage you can discover the hidden waterfall.
