The Blasiwälder waterfall is a little gem in the middle of the forest. It can be found at the crossroads when you walk from the Kohlhütte, in the Brandtannenweg area, up the Maschinenweg on the left after crossing the stream. About a kilometer before the Unterkrummenhof, there used to be a small footbridge over the stream that then led to a raised hide. When this area was designated as a hunting rest area for red deer, the raised hide was dismantled and the small footbridge was then half washed away by the flood in the spring.

Certainly this waterfall is not one of the most impressive in the Black Forest, but the surrounding idyll and tranquility without much audience make this excursion something very special.

A lovely place to cool off and contemplate the waterfall. A dog is also grateful for any refreshment in the wonderfully clear waters.
