Hirschbach Waterfall

Surrounded by the untouched Bannwald, the Hirschbachwasserfall rushes down the valley. The place has its own magic and the exciting path through the Bannwald is a must for true nature lovers.

Small, narrow, unpaved and natural steep path.
Sometimes slippery depending on the weather.
But the landscape is very beautiful.

The Black Forest is known for its abundance of waterfalls. The reason for this lies in the large differences in altitude over a short distance, which applies in particular to the topographical situation in the Simonswald valley. In the 300-700 meter sloping western side of the valley, the strong Ice Age glaciations have created cirque walls. The neighboring streams Hirschbach and Zweribach, coming from gently undulating hanging valleys, plunge down into the largest of these cirques, more than 300 meters deep, with several waterfalls, of which only the Zweribach waterfalls are known nationwide. The cirque is protected as a protective forest and as a Zweribach nature reserve.
