Place of contemplation and silence

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 Martin Chapel marks a place steeped in history, which, interestingly, was only archaeologically investigated for the first time in the 1950s. Before that, in the 19th century, it was part of the Kolmenhof, where it was converted into a utility building (and significantly rebuilt). Conscious of its historical significance, remnants from this period were dismantled and the building was extensively restored.

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/

... "Martinskapelle" near Furtwangen in the Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg. - can be reached via the "red diamond" marking or the "Westweg" - lies on an old pass road between the Breg and Elz springs, at the height of the Danube-Rhine watershed - https://www.furtwangen.de/startseite/Stadtinfo/geschichte+der+martinskapelle.html

Also lit very nicely.

The Martinskapelle is located on an old pass road between the Breg and Elz springs, at the height of the Danube-Rhine watershed. The origin of the chapel goes back to the pre-Carolinic period. Findings from excavations allow the assumption that a sacred building stood here as early as 800. Perhaps the road from Furtwangen to the top of the pass was already an old La Tène road and there were connections between Celtic and early Christian culture here.
