We had a pretty perfect day, beginning with a morning hike to the waterfall. Nothing in town opens until 11:00, so we went to the waterfall behind the restaurant we visited last night. We paid a few Euro to go to where the falls were, up the hill on a nice paved path. It was about a 15-20 minute walk up. They say this is the tallest/longest waterfall in Germany. The water flows, crashing down over the rocks, and all the way down the valley through the town. It was something fun to do.
These first photos are outside our hotel room and our walk through town down in the valley, where the water flows down from the mountainside.
Everyone dresses up for Karnival!

Here’s last night’s restaurant. You enter the waterfall area to the left.
Looking back down mainstreet:
The Triberg Waterfalls are waterfalls near Triberg in the Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg. With a descent of 163 m, it is one of the highest waterfalls in Germany and a landmark in the Black Forest region.
Above Triberg, in the midst of Black Forest, the Gutach river plunges over seven major steps from a gently undulated high plain into a rocky V-shaped valley.
In Triberg, at the bottom of the falls, the deep valley forms a basin just wide enough for a small town. The steep basin and the waterfalls were initially formed by two faults in the granite and then by glaciers during several glaciations of the Pleistocene.
Everything was so green and covered with moss.
