The 6 Best Waterfalls in Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg

June 8, 2021 Lean Nau

Fairytale villages, thermal baths, casinos and pine and birch-blanketed mountains beckon travelers to southwestern Germany's Black Forest. Scenic drives and train trips showcase the best of the area. Skiing, hiking, mountain climbing, boating and ice-skating are popular activities. Baden-Baden's Roman-Irish baths, 19th-century performance hall, casino and fresco-adorned Pump Room are much visited. Gothic masterpiece Freiburg Cathedral and its famous Boys' Choir also draw visitors.

This waterfall is by no means gigantic. However, the walk there is quiet and you are surrounded by breathtaking nature as the noises of every day life quickly fade. It's an easy enough walk for anyone to do and worth the trip.

Sankenbachwasserfalle

Reviewed By Raoulr89 - Sittard, The Netherlands

From the Elbachsee platform we wanted to enjoy more of the local Black Forest. We checked the walking trials (which are really good highlighted) and made the choice to walk from there to the Sankenbach waterfalls and the lake not far from it. Let's be clear it is no easy walk especially because we also had to walk the same way back (3,5 kilometers one way). First part was easy and flat through the forest but then there was a steep decent to the waterfalls (sometimes slippery). Because of the draught the waterfall was not big but the surrounding and the thick forest are magnificent. From the waterfall another decent (but not so long this time) to the lake. Around the lake is a well maintained gravel road also suitable for bikes. At one side of the lake is a kind of small beach and several benches. The view from the lake over the Black Forest surroundings and hills is beautiful. I also took a dive in the lake, temperature was perfect. Of course we had to take the same way back to Elbachsee platform (around 3,5 kilometres) and now it was climb after climb. Not easy but worth it. You can also enter the lake by bike and foot from Baiersbronn side. Much more easy and shorter but of course not the same and beautiful experience.

Triberger Waterfall

At the cascades of the Gutach River, water tumbles nearly 600 feet over seven naturally created steps, resulting in a marvelous site for visitors.

Beautiful scenery and worth a visit. Nice hiking trails and places arranged to take photos. There's cute little red and black squirrels to entertain you as well. Because of the weather, some of the slippery trails were closed off. The Triberg village is cute and kept very clean. There are restrooms near the falls and information booths.
