Triberger Waterfall

The Triberg Waterfalls are waterfalls in the Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg, close to Triberg (Germany). It is one of Germany's tallest waterfalls with a 163 m descent and a famous feature in the Black Forest. The Gutach river descends over seven significant steps from a gently undulating high plain into a stony V-shaped valley above Triberg, in the heart of the Black Forest.

At Triberg, the steep valley creates a basin that is just big enough for a small village. Two granite faults in the steep basin and the waterfalls were first created, and later, many Pleistocene glaciations by glaciers.

Every year, a sizable number of domestic and international tourists visit Triberg's waterfalls, making it a well-liked tourist destination. Less impressive falls are found further up. In this region, there are lots of hotels and restaurants that are reasonably priced. Although closer to Triberger Waterfall and more scenic, Burgbach Waterfall is not the most well-known. The 32-meter-high Burgbach waterfall gracefully cascades down into dense woodland. You'll have the impression of being in a storybook when strolling down the wooded lane. Here, a tiny and extremely old hydroelectric power station uses the water for its operations.
