The Triberg Waterfalls – The Longest Waterfall Germany

The longest Waterfall in Germany is 163 m long. It is located in the Black forest, close to the small town of Triberg, hence the name the Triberg Waterfalls. The waterfall is located in the south of Germany and is surrounded by a beautiful forest and little towns that are embroidery of German village life.

The waterfall has a great walking path and offers a great opportunity for hiking, even pets and children are allowed.

One can start at the bottom and ascend gradually, there are many designated stops along the way to enable you relax, enjoy the scenery and also picnic if need be. Also the different stops allow you to enjoy the waterfall at different stages, so you can still enjoy the waterfalls without necessarily having to walk all the way to the top. For people who love to take photos, there are also numerous opportunities along the way to enable you to do just that.

At the entrance one has to pay 6€ per person but its free for children and pets. The tickets allow you entry into the waterfall areas. You can also buy nuts to feed squirrels along the way, the experience is great especially if one has children or if you love animals. Totally worth it. The experience all through gives the vibes of a very chilled and relaxing atmosphere.

The waterfall is open all year round and you can enjoy your time there, I visited during the autumn season in Germany, around October and early November. This season is normally mixed its not too cold neither is it too hot. It is also rains during this season, so the waterfall is normally full, and you can enjoy the sound of the water and the push greenery during this season.

The small village of **Villingen-Schwenningen**

Visiting the small tow of Villingen-Schwenningen was a great moment as the city is rich in history and a small monument on a well in the city centre records the history of the town over different eras. An artist, Klaus Ringwald, designed and built the Minster Fountain on the Minster Square in Villingen in 1989. The bronze work of art tells the 1000-year history of the town in text and pictures, sometimes in a humorous way. Each of the eight sides of the artwork is dedicated to an era of significance for the town.

The advantage of visiting the neighbouring towns of Villingen is that you also get to visit the Black Forest. The Black Forest got its name from the dense population of trees. Some locals also argue that the name was coined due to the fact that the trees have black markings along the trunk. The forest has inspired many legends and stories through the centuries. The Grimm Brothers wrote Black Forest fairy tales like “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Snow White,” and “Rapunzel.”
