Amazing waterfall. Entry fee - 8€ per adult. Card payment accepted. WC facility is there. Easy and steep paths are there to go to the top of waterfall.

An easy nature trail accessible with asphalt, but its elevation is not easy for those who have difficulty walking or strollers. Relatively reasonable entrance prices. Most of it is shaded and pleasant. The entire trail and the beauty you see in the waterfall of the humpbacked trees are very beautiful and a highly recommended place.

The student ticket costs 0.50€ less than the usual adult tickets The waterfalls is absolutely beautiful and you can hike all the way to the top for different views. There are various hiking trails to explore the entire area. Sometimes you'll get to see the endemic red squirrel.

Very charming and beautiful place; to enter, you need to pay an €8 ticket at the entrance. The walk to see all the waterfalls takes about 1 hour if done at a relaxed pace.

Stunning, the immediate walk to the waterfall is 8 min max. You can walk more at different hiking intensities higher up the waterfall. Great pathways up the trail

The Triberg Waterfalls are really beautiful and worth seeing! The views are amazing, and the walk through the forest feels fresh and peaceful. You can take great photos and enjoy nature all around. However, the entry fee felt a bit high for such a short walk, and the place can get quite crowded, especially on weekends. Parking can also be tricky if you come late. Overall, it’s a lovely place to visit once — great for nature lovers, but be ready for a bit of a crowd and some walking uphill.

Visited the waterfalls for free. Get on the path to the Froschbrunnen (Frog Fountain), ignoring all signs saying no path to the waterfalls. Once at the Frog Fountain take the right-most path from it & stay on this as it curves left around the hill & you will eventually see the swarms of tourists down below you on the lower waterfall paths. Take the first available path down to join the path around the waterfalls. You can either exit back the way you came, or go out through the turnstile that the paying tourists come through at the bottom of the waterfalls.

A must-visit in the heart of the Black Forest! Triberg Waterfall impresses with its seven-tiered cascades and lush forest setting. The trails are well-marked, family-friendly, and offer stunning photo spots. While it’s not a single dramatic drop, the natural charm, fresh mountain air, and occasional squirrel sightings make it a memorable stop. 🎒📸 💡 Tip: Go early or during off-peak hours for a peaceful experience. Don’t miss the night illumination if you’re around in the evening!

6€ per person is a little high, but the waterfalls are amazing. We went up to the 3rd view point, which has a bridge over the waterfall. They had lights at various places, and I'm sure at night it looks great, but we were there in the daytime. It is a must see in Triberg.

The waterfall is absolutely beautiful especially during the Christmas market! You will see people dancing and doing a fire show over the falls. You will get wet if you're close, so plan ahead because it gets cold. It's definitely worth a stop if you're going to be in the area.

The Triberg waterfalls are absolutely stunning.We were in Triberg for a few hours and decided to stop by the waterfalls. The cost is €4.50 to enter which is a great deal. You can spend anywhere from 45 minutes to hours exploring the different paths. They are ranked by 3 colors, Red, Yellow, and Green. Red is the more laid back route that goes to the first bridge, Yellow is the intermediate that takes you to the seconds bridge, and the most difficult is the green. We opted for the yellow which was recommended by the ticket operator. The waterfalls themselves are very gorgeous and the sound of the water is very relaxing. There are plenty of spots for great photos, from benches, to a little covered seating area, the bridges, and all along the trails themselves. I enjoyed all of the areas and appreciate the places to take a breather. The attendant was very nice and answered any questions we had as well as offered her advise on which was the best route to take. There is an abundance of parking in Triberg that allows you access to the falls in a matter of minutes. You will need to pay at these lots but the price is not bad and you only pay for the time you want to spend.

Triberg waterfalls is a beautiful way to spend an hour or a few hours in Triberg, besides the shops and restaurants, the falls are a main attraction in this small Black Forrest town. The cost is €4.50 to enter and there are three paths you can take to see the falls. They range from slightly up hill and then flat or you can do all uphill. The routes take 45 minutes, 1 hour or 1.5 hours. The falls themselves are very beautiful and offer great photo opportunities. The sound of the water flowing is soothing and relaxing. There are several parking lots around town and from most it is only a few minute walk to the entrance to the falls. The attendant was very nice and answered our questions with ease. If you have some extra time and are in the area, please check out this beautiful area.

This place is really beautiful! We saw it when we were walking around town and decided to go visit. The walking paths that go through the forest and along the waterfalls and river are truly spectacular. Lots and lots of beautiful pictures everywhere!

If you visit Triberg, you would like to hike up to this "tallest waterfall in Germany". If you don't wanna hike but you still wanna see it? No problem. Just drive up to the highest spot entrance. It's about 5 minutes walk from the parking to the waterfall. We did about a hour hike with our 6 year old and had a great time.

Claiming to be Germany's highest waterfall, this is a beautiful spot in the Black Forest, marred only slightly by the very touristy village of Triberg at the bottom with its cuckoo-clock shops and sales of Teutonic kitsch. The waterfalls are extremely impressive and there is a good walk either up from Triberg (which is frankly where most people start and therefore best avoided) or down from the top where there is a smallish car park. Entry to the main section of the waterfall costs a couple of Euros, but is worth it.

Important to note there are multiple places to park for this attraction, and depending on where you park you may or may not have a completely uphill climb to return to your vehicle. That being said the forest is beautiful and breathtaking, the walking paths are extremely well maintained. They hype it up quite a bit as the "tallest / largest" waterfall... to be fair it's extraordinary - BUT it's a cascading waterfall, which means you have a lot of small waterfalls that connect together. So you won't be seeing Niagara Falls here - but still worth the visit for 4.5 Euros!

BEST PART OF TRIBERG! When you hear about the very high waterfall you expect something huge but it is not one big waterfall but spread into 6 cascades. But it is still a really nice walk up. The car park and the road next to it at the top ruins the scenery a bit but it is definetely worth a visit.
