Sankenbach Waterfalls, Natural monument waterfalls in Baiersbronn, Germany.

Sankenbach Waterfalls is a natural waterfall in Baiersbronn that drops across multiple tiers down a rocky slope. The water flows through a series of cascades and pools before reaching the lower basin.

The waterfalls formed through water erosion in sandstone layers within the Black Forest geology over many centuries. The current rock formations and cascades developed from this slow geological process.

The waterfall system represents a significant natural formation in the Black Forest region, contributing to the area's outdoor recreation heritage.

The site is accessible by marked hiking trails that wind through the forest to reach the falls. Water flow varies with the season, so visiting after rainy periods offers a more impressive view.

A manually operated sluice gate on the upper footbridge allows visitors to temporarily increase water flow for a more dramatic view. This interactive feature lets people observe and photograph the falls at different water volumes.
