Griesbach Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

The small streams join together and trickle down the rock face. The background is picturesquely covered in moss. It is worth stopping for a moment and just listening to the sound of the water.

Haberer Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The climb up the 16-meter-high tower is worth it. From the top you have a fantastic panoramic view. The stairs are narrow and steep, so be careful.

The paths on this tour today were to our liking, mostly (narrow) forest paths. Rather short in length, but still quite challenging in places. Crunchy climb...but doable! Great views and rest areas, even if the only drinks fridge on the tour is currently not stocked due to forestry work.

From the parking lot at the summer ski jump you hike up to the Griesbach waterfall, which cascades over the boulders. The first climb has to be conquered on moss-covered stone steps along the waterfall.

A short but beautiful tour which also runs large parts on roadways but continuously manages to inspire with the highlights and short, sometimes challenging path sections and so it doesn't get boring!

A special highlight is the well-designed recreation area with a great view.

Is it safe to walk again 👍🏻

Today we tackled the Teufelskanzelsteig in the best hiking weather. Good footwear is a must here! The railings on the Teufelskanzelsteig are sometimes quite wobbly and rotten. But later at Marienruh you are rewarded for your efforts. A beautiful view of the Black Forest mountain ranges and the view also extends to the Rhine plain. In wet and damp weather …

Finally hiking again 😊🥰☀️
Today at the Teufelskanzelsteig in Bad Griesbach.
Normally, routes with highlights such as waterfalls, towers or many paths with roots and stones are always sought, otherwise it will be difficult for the children 😉😋.
We had all that today. Well, the Griesbach waterfall is not big and had little water and the Haberer tower at the …

The Teufelssteig Trail has everything a hike entails. The trails lead through the beautiful Black Forest. The circular route takes us along beautiful root-covered paths, passing a waterfall and climbing steep stairs, including a ladder. You'll be rewarded with a magnificent view all the way down to the Reihn plain.
