BLACK FOREST INN HOURS HOW TO

Frankfurt to the Black Forest is less than two hours to the Northern parts, and is a particularly good place to fly into if you plan on hitting up any of that region of the Forest, like experiencing the German Spas and visiting Baden-Baden.įrankfurt to Triberg: Less than 3 hours by either car or train However, you can also fly into Frankfurt as well to get to the Black Forest. Zurich to Triberg: Less than 2 hours by car (note, if you rent a car in Switzerland, you’ll need the Swiss Vignette) If you are flying into Germany internationally, Zurich is actually the closest airport to the Black Forest, especially if you are staying in Hochschwarzwald, which is where the Triberg Waterfall is located. However, I don’t know if I would plan a whole trip just around these falls in and of themselves. After all, we were staying in a town down the road and had a whole weekend planned of things to do in the Black Forest with the family nearby. If you are looking for a truly gorgeous Black Forest waterfall, which is also pretty easy to get to, I actually recommend the Burbachwaterfall, which is only about a 50 minute drive North of Triberg.Īll that being said, I’m not mad we went to the Triberg Falls. The falls are beautiful, but because it has seven separate cascades (most of which can’t be seen simultaneously), it’s actually quite anti climactic to see the falls. Surprisingly though, I didn’t think that the falls were completely packed and overrun, in fact, I was a bit surprised that there weren’t more people (we were there in November though, which may have played a part in that- more on the best time to visit Triberg below) It’s all kitsch and tourist shops and it’s probably no surprise that those cross country bus tours often come here as part of their itinerary. Like I said, I’m a sucker for “world record” type of activities while traveling, but when I found out that Triberg wasn’t even actually Germany’s Tallest Waterfall, that was a big disappointment. So why does Triberg proclaim to be the tallest? Eh, who knows, but arguments can be made that it’s the most “accessible” since Röthbach is a bit difficult to get to. The title of the highest, longest, and plummeting (vertical drop) waterfall in Germany belongs to the Röthbach Waterfall, in beautiful Bavaria, in the stunning Berchtesgaden (which you can do on my 10 Day Bavarian Itinerary) which clocks in at 470 metres (1540 ft) In fact, it is almost disappointing, especially if you’ve chalked up that whole “Tallest Waterfall” element in your head. It is a very long and cascading fall meaning it has 7 different “steps” if you will, so no, we aren’t talking a small little amount of water falling over a few rocks.īut, not only is it a bold faced lie that it’s the tallest waterfall in Germany, but since each cascade isn’t that high in and of itself, and it is difficult to see the next cascade up, it actually looks like numerous small waterfalls. The Triberg waterfall is from the Gutach River, which tumbles down a whopping 163m, which is roughly 535 feet.

Was this just some kind of tourism gimmick? Surely there had to be taller waterfalls in Germany, for example in the towering Alps!? And why yes, that is absolutely correct…there is, in fact, a taller waterfall.
