The waterfall<br />
Water is mobile and wonderfully reflects the spirit thirsting for<br />
knowledge. It flows and soaks every gap, it penetrates the smallest nooks<br />
and crannies to emerge discerning after the experience. The desire for<br />
this project arose because of the beauty of the rocks.<br />
In 1865 the waterfall was created by Trusetal miners under the<br />
supervision of Baurat Specht. A dam diverts the water from the Truse<br />
below Brotterode. At first, the 3.5 km long, constructed waterfall ditch<br />
winds along the edge of the forest and then approaches the actual river<br />
valley again. At Öhmigshauk, the Trusetal waterfall first falls over two<br />
smaller falls and then over the granite rock from a height of 50m into a<br />
collecting basin. The water then flows back into the Truse.<br />
The Trusetal Waterfall is only in operation from Easter to the end of<br />
October each year. A circular walk, starting at the waterfall with 228<br />
steps, brings us closer to the water and lets us see rainbows.<br />
Accompanying festival events are the annual waterfall festival in July<br />
and a small summer market.<br />
Hike on page 13: From Waldschlösschen 4km to the waterfall. Walking<br />
