Cascade du Bockloch, Natural waterfall near Kruth, France
The Bockloch waterfall descends from the Vosges mountains into Lake Kruth-Wildenstein through two successive water drops along the right bank.
The waterfall formation dates back to the glacial period of the Vosges mountains, creating steep slopes and intricate geological patterns.
Local folklore includes a tale about a knight from Wildenstein Castle who met his end at the waterfall after pursuing a black deer on Christmas day.
The waterfall marks the starting point of a 90-minute circular hiking trail with blue markings, leading through the Hinterbockloch valley with a 360-meter elevation gain.
The name Bockloch translates to goat hole, adding a peculiar linguistic element to this natural water feature in the Alsace region.
