You're standing at the Triberg Waterfalls, deep in the Black Forest. First, just listen. That rushing sound belongs to one of the highest waterfalls in Germany. The Gutach river drops a total of 163 metres here, from around 872 metres down to 711 metres above sea level.

The Triberger Wasserfälle are a waterfall on the Gutach, a river in the heart of the region. It is one of the highest waterfalls in the country. The water falls 163 metres in total, down a series of large steps of rock. Every year many visitors come, from within the country and from abroad. You will find the Triberger Wasserfälle in Triberg im Schwarzwald, a small town in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The Schwarzwaldmuseum is close by, 356 metres away.
You are standing in a steep, rocky valley shaped like a V. Lower down, the valley widens a little into a bowl, and the small town of Triberg lies there. The Gutach flows down from a gently rolling plateau, and the water begins its fall at about 872 metres above sea level. At the bottom, it is 711 metres. You can hear the rushing water from a distance. Watch how the water keeps finding a new path over the stones. Walking up, the water is calmer. There you will see a small, very old hydroelectric plant that uses the water. Take your time and look from different spots, because every step up shows the waterfall in a different way.
The nearest public toilet to the Triberger Wasserfälle is 244 metres away, at Naturpark Südschwarzwald, and it is free to use. There are 3 public toilets within 500 metres. If you want to sit down for a while, there are benches at the Triberger Wasserfälle too. The closest one is 24 metres away, at the Bergseebrücke, and 84 benches stand within 500 metres. For drinking water, head to the tap on Hauptstraße, 403 metres away. It is the only drinking water point within 500 metres, so it is worth filling your bottle before you set off.
After your visit to the waterfall, you can take a short walk nearby. Maria in der Tanne, an attraction in Triberg, is 619 metres away. That distance is short, so you will get there quickly. You can combine this stretch well with your visit to the waterfall, as you do not have to walk far. It is a pleasant way to see more of Triberg than just the water. There is an audio story about the Triberger Wasserfälle in the Outdoor Pitstop app. It lasts 2 minutes and you can listen to it on the spot. Play it while you look at the water, and you will hear the story right where it takes place. That also leaves your hands free to take photos or fill your bottle.
