Schwarzwald - Black Forest - Triberger Wasserfall

Our last stop in the Black Forest was the Triberger Wasserfall.  This is another waterfall that we had heard about and decided to check out.  Needless to say, we were a bit disappointed by the tourism around this waterfall.  Even though you could walk right up to the waterfall, they made you pay to go past one of the booths to get close enough to see it.  It wasn't much, but we were a bit disappointed with everything that was built up around this natural waterfall.

The waterfall was gorgeous though!  It is the biggest one in the Black Forest.



There were some pretty birds around this area and they got very close to the people that were walking around.  We missed getting pictures of the first one, but we did get pictures of one of the later ones.


At Christmas time, the falls are decorated with thousands of Christmas lights.  They obviously weren't lit yet, but there were some of them up on the bridges that criss-crossed the falls.



We got pretty excited too because we actually saw an American flag!  At the tourist entrance to the falls, they had different flags flying and they had an American flag.


We only stayed about half an hour at the waterfall because we had to start driving back in order to make it to church in Ueberlingen by 5:30.  We did make it in time and got some pictures of the mountains as we were getting closer to Ueberlingen.


Overall, we had a great trip to the Black Forest!  We hope to go back to some of these places and explore them a bit more and hope to see some new places too.
