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 />

around the waterfall and back the same way is about 9km.<br />
