Germany's highest waterfalls
The unique nature experience!
Germany's highest waterfalls in Triberg are a unique memorable attraction. Foaming and roaring, with a descent of 163m the water of the river Gutach plunges over seven major steps down into the valley.
Learn about animals, plants and special features of the waterfall area on descriptive boards and observe the many squirrels along the paths.
The main entrance to the waterfall is easily and quickly reached on foot from the town center. However, four other entrances give you the opportunity to access the falls from all sides. Signposted parking lots can be found in the city area.
The waterfalls are illuminated in the evening until 22:00 (10pm) and offer a fascinating sight.
Check here for the current map „Germany's highest waterfalls" including an overview sketch.
Especially during melting season in spring and after heavy rainfalls, the cascading water masses are enormous and most impressive.
The main platform makes it possible to almost feel the spray of the falls and allows an exclusive view of the cascades. The waterfalls can be visited all year round and offer an impressive backdrop in winter. Bellow you find more information on winter opening hours.
Pick one of the three signposted trail routes and enjoy the natural spectacle on the Nature Trail (Naturweg), the Culture Trail (Kulturweg) or the Cascades Trail (Kaskadenweg).
