Cascade du Bockloch, Natural waterfall near Kruth, France

Cascade du Bockloch is a waterfall formed by two successive drops in the Vosges mountains near Kruth. It flows into Lake Kruth-Wildenstein and shapes the landscape with its powerful descent down the right bank.

This waterfall formed during the glacial period of the Vosges mountains when ice shaped the mountainous terrain. The steep slopes and rocky formations visible today result from millions of years of geological forces.

The waterfall lies on the right bank of Lac de Kruth-Wildenstein, in the commune of Kruth in the Vosges massif. The lake below the falls is a reservoir created for the Kruth hydroelectric scheme, and the cascade is one of the sights reached on foot from its shores.

The waterfall serves as the starting point for a circular hiking trail marked in blue that takes around 90 minutes. The path climbs through the Hinterbockloch valley on steep sections and requires sturdy footwear for safety.
