Edelfrauengrab Waterfalls

The Edelfrauengrab waterfalls owe their name to a naturally formed scouring cave right next to one of the waterfalls, where, according to legend, an unfaithful noblewoman met her violent end. In fact, the Gottschlägel nature reserve with the waterfalls and, further up, the Karlsruher Grat is an outstanding scenic attraction in the northern Black Forest. From the hiking car park (signposted), it is only a few steps to the lowest level of the waterfalls, where the Edelfrauengrab is also located. Of course, it is worth climbing further up the adventurous paths and footbridges along the Gottschlägbach. If you want to go on an adventurous hike, climb further up at the upper end of the Gottschlägel to the Karlsruher Grat, where you can then do the via ferrata. From the Bosensteiner Eck at the upper end of the via ferrata, the path then leads over the 'Brennte Schrofen' back to Ottenhöfen. The entire route is about 12 km, elevation difference 500 m, walking time should be 4-5 hours.

You can let your imagination run wild at the waterfalls and the noble woman's grave. The stainless steel railing is a bit annoying, but you can hold on to when the path becomes uneven

Beautiful, well-worth seeing and legendary waterfall in Ottenhöfen, also known as the noble women's grave. Ascent over steps and bridges on a narrow hiking path.
