Burgbach Waterfall

The Burgbach stream plunges down 32 meters through dense Black Forest vegetation, creating one of the highest free-falling waterfalls in Germany.

The waterfall's rock formation dates back to the Permian period, featuring silicified sandstones positioned above more susceptible granite layers.

Local residents maintain extensive hiking trails around the waterfall, promoting the exploration of natural landmarks in the Black Forest region.

Visitors can access the waterfall via an 800-meter trail from the parking area at the intersection of Burgbachstraße and Wolftalstraße.

The water flow varies significantly throughout the seasons, reaching its peak volume during spring when mountain snow melts into the stream.
