The remains of the monastery church form the most impressive part of the monastery ruins. Its cross-shaped floor plan is clearly visible in the still-standing walls, which display architectural styles ranging from late Romanesque to late Gothic.

It's a nice place to rest. I loved seeing the mountains, all green and full of trees. It also has a bed seat next to it where you can take a nap.

April 19, 2025,Wasserfallweg Allerheiligen y Cascadas de Allerheiligen - Recorrido circular desde Maisach

A very nice ride. The only thing that bothered me—although I imagine it was because of the good weather and it being a holiday—were the motorcycles, which were making a tremendous amount of noise for almost half the ride.

Farewell tour from the Black Forest, but I'll be back 😍
Waterfall to myself again in the morning. Steady ascent over the monastery ruins, then a mountain path and finally a wide hiking trail up to the Schliffkopf.
A sensational heath landscape awaits you here (and today a strong wind, you notice that you are over 1000m again)

June 19, 2025,Wasserfallrunde Allerheiligen u. Lotharpfad

After the Allerheiligen Waterfalls, there are places to stop for refreshments near the monastery ruins. We can't comment on these, as we had provisions with us. However, the farm ice cream was absolutely delicious. 😋 There's also a small monastery shop where you can buy the farm ice cream, selling honey, schnapps, gin, sparkling wine, etc., as well as souvenirs. …

Today's round started from the Lotharpfad parking lot directly on the Black Forest High Road. The adventure trail leads over footbridges and stairs and shows the renaturation after the devastating storm Lothar in the 90s. Then it went down a few meters and on forest roads downhill towards Allerheiligen waterfalls, the highlight of the round. We wind our way up …

I set off at 7:30. All alone and nice and cool.
Only from the waterfalls onwards were there several other people on the trail. After that, I was alone again. At the beginning, I followed the Lotharweg trail. Then there were long forest paths to the "Allerheiligenwasserfälle" parking lot. From there, it's all over the place until the destination.
Alternatively, …

Hello everyone,

The tour to the All Saints Waterfalls and the ruins was long overdue. The pictures of all the other hikers who had already treated themselves to these views were impressive.

We started on the Lothar Trail at the top of the Kniebis. Then we had time to relax, as it was all downhill. Nevertheless, we had a really …

It started this morning at the Allerheiligen Wasserfalle parking lot and we had to swallow first when we stood in front of the barrier (due to bridge work). It was quickly rescheduled and there was an extension via the Legends Path to the monastery, great views again and again. The ruins were a dream and from there we could go …
