キンツィヒ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Gengenbach is a former free imperial city in the Kinzig valley. Historical buildings, fountains, towers and gates, narrow, romantic alleys and the wonderful market square invite visitors. The origins of the city go back to Roman times. The monastery was founded around 725, and the city was founded from there in 1230. Even then, the city was planned in its current appearance, with walls, towers and gates. In 1360, Gengenbach was elevated to the status of an imperial city and was therefore subject only to the emperor.

A wooden boardwalk has been built through the entire moor to put as little strain on the moor as possible. There are a few benches on the path where you can take a rest.

The towers and gates invite you into the historic old town from afar and narrow alleys lead you into picturesque nooks and crannies. The "stone knight" on the market square fountain welcomes us upright. It testifies to the pride and self-confidence of the former Free Imperial City, as does the imposing 200-year-old town hall, which is transformed into the world's largest Advent calendar house in winter and, with its countless romantic half-timbered buildings, dominates the cityscape. 

Impressive view of the Triberg waterfalls

The Triberg Waterfalls are one of the most beautiful sights in the Black Forest and Baden-Württemberg. The water streams, which run over seven cascades, are considered the highest waterfalls in Germany with a total height of 163 meters. This is why they are also a popular destination for a vacation with children. We visited the Triberg waterfalls on a summer evening. And - to our surprise - we got there without paying an entrance fee. In this article, we reveal why this was the case and what you should know about opening times, entrance fees, parking and hiking options. First of all, you should keep in mind that the Triberg waterfalls are very well known and well visited. Around 27,100 people search for them every month on Google alone (as of May 2023). Therefore, it is often full during the day. This is especially true when the weather is nice, on weekends, public holidays and school holidays. Since we don't think you can really enjoy the beauty of the waterfalls in the middle of crowds, we recommend visiting outside of peak times. Before 9:00 a.m. or in the evening from around 7:00 p.m. you will find the waterfalls pleasantly empty. Another plus point for visiting in the morning or evening: you save money. The ticket booths are closed early in the morning and in the evening. This means you can get to the Triberg Waterfalls outside of the typical visiting hours without paying an entrance fee. And the parking is free too! The Scheffelplatz parking lot (Google Maps) at the middle entrance, for example, is only chargeable between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. https://www.unaufschiebbar.de/reiseziele/europa/deutschland/triberger-wasserfaelle-schwarzwald/

It's just great that you can walk over the wooden planks in the moor, there's a lot to discover 😊

The masses of water are very impressive
