Menzenschwander Waterfall, Mountain waterfall in St. Blasien, Germany
The Menzenschwander Waterfall flows through a gorge with rock walls reaching 30 meters in height within the Black Forest landscape.
The waterfall formation dates to the Ice Age when water floods from Feldberg mountain carved deep channels through the rocky terrain.
The waterfall serves as a focal point for local gatherings and outdoor activities, drawing visitors from surrounding Black Forest communities.
From May through October, special lighting illuminates the falls on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings between 20:30 and 22:30.
The natural cascade marks the northern boundary of the Menzenschwander glacier trough valley, creating a distinct geological formation.

Baden-Württemberg offers a wide range of destinations beyond the usual routes. The region includes medieval castle ruins such as Hohentwiel, Hohenbaden, and Yburg, medieval monasteries like Maulbronn and Alpirsbach, and palaces such as Lichtenstein and Weikersheim. Geological formations shape the landscape: the Blautopf displays a karst spring with distinctive water color, the Wutach Gorge cuts through limestone layers, and Wimsen Cave lies in the Danube Valley. Numerous waterfalls including Urach Falls and Menzenschwand Falls complement the natural offerings. The region combines historical and contemporary elements. The Wildline suspension bridge spans the Enz Valley, the Rottweil Test Tower serves as an elevator testing facility and viewing platform, and the historic Sauschwänzlebahn railway runs on a track featuring loops and tunnels. Parks such as Hohenheim Gardens and Rosenstein Park offer botanical collections. The market square in Freudenstadt displays typical Black Forest architecture, and the Neubulach Silver Mine provides insights into historic mining operations. These destinations allow detailed exploration of the region's nature, history, and engineering.
