Todtmooser Wasserfall

Todtmooser Waterfall is a multi-tiered cascade in the Black Forest region with a total height of about 40 meters and several drops of varying sizes. The water flows over smooth rock formations, creating a natural formation surrounded by forest and stone structures.

The waterfall formed through geological activity of a mountain stream that carved through rock formations over thousands of years. In 1986, it received official protection status as a natural monument to preserve this geological formation.

The waterfall serves as a gathering point for hikers exploring the local trails and represents an important natural landmark in the community's outdoor recreation landscape.

The waterfall is accessible from a parking area on the L146 road between Todtmoos and Bernau, with marked trails leading to viewing spots. Wear sturdy footwear, as the paths can be wet and slippery, especially near the cascade itself.

The waterfall is fed by the Rüttebach stream, which originates from the Rotkreuz mountain area and eventually flows into the Wehra river downstream. This connection shows how small mountain streams feed into larger river systems across the region.
