This impressive waterfall connects the spring area of the Weiße Sulm with its upper course. Between Wernersdorf and the Wiel, the upper course forms a canyon-like valley cut, with steep valley slopes and a gently flowing river section. Toward the end of the valley, the riverbed becomes increasingly steep, creating a dramatic drop between 900 and 1,050 meters above sea level.

Here, the Weiße Sulm plunges down several rocky steps, dropping a total of 150 vertical meters.
