    The Sankenbach waterfall, which plunges 40 meters through a Karwand step and is triggered by manually opening the wooden sluice, offers an impressive natural spectacle. Here visitors can intervene in nature themselves and let the waterfall swell. You open the slide with the wooden lever. The dammed water of the water basin then rushes into the valley.

      The Sankenbach waterfalls are located southwest of Baiersbronn in the Black Forest. The Sankenbach crashes in several stages more than 40 m over the Karwand of the Sankenbachkessel. The main case is formed by the Eck'schen horizon of the Lower Buntsandstein. Below the waterfall lies on the bottom of the Kars of the once almost silted, but restored by damming Sankenbachsee.

      Due to the 0.65 square kilometer catchment area, the average annual flow rate is less than 3 l / s. From a footbridge above the main level, however, the inflowing water in the small sink above the first drop level above can first be dammed by means of a wooden slider; after opening the slide, the accumulated water then falls down for a while in an increased surge. Below the main case, there are two lower case levels.

      The Sankenbacher waterfalls and their surroundings are designated as a 4.8-acre areal natural monument.

        In addition to the good, comprehensive description from SpezialGuest, it should be noted that the waterfalls are ideal for a children's trip. The rooty climb alone puts you in a good mood. On the top bridge above the waterfall there is a dam board that can be opened. Then the waterfall rushes in a torrent even when there is little water.
