The legend of the name of the noblewoman's grave can be found here: https://ortenau-urlaub.de/?p=269

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.

Nice hiking trail along the falls over stairs and bridges. In the extension you reach the via ferrata Karlsruher Grat.

Unfortunately, the tower has been closed since March 17th, 2020

Beautiful vantage point over the Mummelsee, several seating areas. Not as crowded as the Mummelsee itself

Wonderful view of and over the Mummelsee with bench and sun lounger to relax.

Definitely worth it, small waterfalls in a breathtaking landscape

A narrow path winds through the wild and romantic gorge. The crossing takes place via stairs, footbridges and bridges with constantly changing perspectives of the waterfalls.
