Hirschbach Falls, Waterfall in Sankt Peter and Simonswald, Germany
The Hirschbach Falls cascade down through four distinct stages, dropping nearly 20 meters into a steep rocky basin at 850 meters elevation.
The formation of these falls results from intense glacial activity during the last ice age, which carved deep cirques into the western valley slopes.
The falls represent a natural landmark within the protected Bannwald forest area, demonstrating the geological diversity of the Black Forest region.
Visitors can start their hike from the Zweribach Bridge parking area, following secured paths with ropes and handrails through varied terrain.
The waterfall system includes both the main cascade and two additional falls located 300 meters upstream in the Gschwandersdobel high valley.
