Wasserfallsteig premium trail at Feldberg

Rushing waterfalls and roaring streams accompany you on this eleven-kilometer-long hike through the Black Forest. The premium trail starts at the August Euler Platz hiking car park on the Feldberg pass. If you don't have a car, you can easily reach the starting point by bus.

At the mountain rescue hut, you join the path and walk downhill to the Wiesenquelle. After about 100 meters, you leave this path and pass a meadow below the old ski jump. Soon you're hiking back into the forest and the character of the stream valley quickly changes to a wild, romantic gorge with steps and bridges. Not far now, you can already hear the Fahler waterfall - an impressive natural spectacle!

You hike down the valley towards Brandenberg across flower meadows and pastures. A little way behind the Hotel Waldeck, you turn left onto a narrow path that leads you down through the rustic Wolfsschlucht to Todtnau. You take a short detour across the market square, a good opportunity for a long break and a stop for refreshments.

Refreshed, you hike up the mountain, past the forest kindergarten and on the increasingly steep path until you hear the next waterfall roaring. Soon you are standing on the bridge in front of the largest cascade of the Todtnau waterfall and can feel the fine spray on your skin.

You hike the last stretch uphill via steps to the small climatic health resort of Todtnauberg, where the waterfall trail ends at the bus stop in front of the Hotel Sternen. Bus 7215 then takes you back to Todtnau and from there you take line 7300 back to the starting point.
