The Triberg Waterfalls are falls near the town of Triberg in the Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg, southwest Germany, about 32 km northeast of Freiburg and 70 km south of Baden-Baden in a straight line. With a drop of 163 metres, they are among the highest waterfalls in Germany and a Black Forest landmark. Above Triberg, deep in the Black Forest, the Gutach river plunges over seven main steps from a rolling plateau into a rocky V-shaped valley. At the foot of the falls the valley widens into a basin just big enough for a small town. The steep basin and falls were formed first by two faults in the granite and then by glaciers during the ice ages. White water pours down steps of moss-covered rock between dense, towering firs, crossed by small wooden bridges. Spray hangs in the damp air, and squirrels often dart across the path. Visitors follow well-kept paths up both sides of the falls from town in about an hour. The falls are lit up on winter and holiday evenings, and the town is full of shops selling the Black Forest's famous cuckoo clocks.
