Uracher Waterfall

The Uracher waterfall, one of the Swabian Jura's top attractions, has a total drop of 37 meters, making it one of Germany's highest waterfalls outside of the Alps. When the snow melts or after a lot of rain, when a lot of water rushes, it is especially magnificent. You nearly feel as though you are in another world due to the extremely humid, thus dense and lush, surrounding forest. For dining, there is a hut at the top of the waterfall.

The various vantage points from which one can view this natural marvel are what distinguish the Urach waterfall as being so special. From below, it's amazing to see how the water cascades into the depths before winding its way over moss-covered rocks and into tiny streams in the valley below. You will gain various viewpoints of this natural marvel as you ascend the steep steps on the falls' side. Finally, as you reach the summit of the Hochwiese, you can observe the waterfall from the bridge above as the water cascades down the Tuffstone ledge.

There is a snack house and rest area at the top; it's a nice place to take a breather, unwind, and take in the scenery. Bring your own barbecue supplies if you'd like to use the nearby cooking stations.
