Triberg Waterfall

The Triberg Waterfalls are waterfalls near Triberg in the Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg. With a descent of 163 m, it is one of the highest waterfalls in Germany and a landmark in the Black Forest region.Above Triberg, in the midst of Black Forest, the Gutach river plunges over seven major steps from a gently undulated high plain into a rocky V-shaped valley.

In Triberg, at the bottom of the falls, the deep valley forms a basin just wide enough for a small town. The steep basin and the waterfalls were initially formed by two faults in the granite and then by glaciers during several glaciations of the Pleistocene.
