Short hike to an idyllic gorge
 

Just 10 km from the hotel is the ideal starting point for a trip to the Falkauer Waterfall. Take the B500 towards Titisee and turn off onto Windgfällstraße after Windgfällweiher. Follow this road to the Resis Abenteuerland car park (address for your navigation device: Wanderparkplatz Kuranlage Falkau/Haslachstraße, 79868 Feldberg – Falkau).

This hike is a great experience for the whole family. Once you arrive at the hiking car park, you will find Resi's Adventure Playground right next door, where children of all ages can have fun and let off steam to their heart's content. Right next door, there is also a water treading pool and a mini golf course.

The trail to the waterfall is just under two kilometers long, well signposted, and easy to manage even with children. The short hike takes you along idyllic paths past the Falkau pond, over forest trails and small bridges.

Down into the gorge

Finally, a small narrow path, crisscrossed with the roots of the surrounding trees, leads you down to the waterfall. Once you reach the bottom of the gorge, you can enjoy the exciting natural spectacle. Here, the Haslach river plunges over two steps into a large pool.

This waterfall is certainly not one of the most impressive in the Black Forest, but the idyllic and tranquil surroundings without many visitors make this excursion something very special.

Notes:

  • The path is only partially suitable for strollers.
  • Sturdy footwear is necessary.
  • Please check for any restrictions before setting off.
