グータッハ（シュヴァルツヴァルトバーン）の滝・トップ14

The Elz Waterfalls are located in the Central Black Forest, southwest of Schonach. The Elz Waterfalls run directly along the U(h)rwaldpfad gourmet trail, which invites you to take a beautiful hike through the High Black Forest.

In 15-minute film contributions from a German-language television series, Tilmann Spengler introduces the culture-loving viewer to the life and work of important writers and authors from all eras. One of the people he honors as a "classic of world literature" is the American author of "The Old Man and the Sea" (to name just the most famous work) and Nobel Prize winner for literature: * Ernest HEMINGWAY (1899 to 1961). The contribution can be found in the ARD media library under the following link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/ernest-hemingway/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL3ZpZGVvLzcwNGI5NmQ2LWJjOWUtNGJlMi04YjM1LTlmNzBhYmZiN2NhZQ

Impressive view of the Triberg waterfalls

Small 200m path to the waterfall. Is it worth it?

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/
