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.

October 17, 2025,Glaswaldsee & Teufelskanzel

The Glaswaldsee lake in the Bad Rippoldsauer-Schapbach nature reserve appears like a 'black eye'. This dreamy, wildly romantic lake is only accessible on foot. Due to its pristine condition, the Glaswaldsee is considered one of the most magnificent, clear blue eyes of the Black Forest. The lake's name comes from a glassworks that stood in the Seebach valley in the …

September 24, 2022,Kreuzkopfschanze - Grießbacher Wasserfall - Glaswaldsee - Haberer Turm

Hello, my dears. Today we ended up in the beautiful Ortenau district.
The starting point of our round tour, which we put together ourselves, is the Kreuzkopfschanze car park in Bad Peterstal-Griessbach.
The main part of the round runs on beautiful narrow paths and is really a fantastic tour ☺️

July 17, 2023,Teufelskanzelsteig 👿 mit Abstecher zum Glaswaldsee 🤩

The Teufelskanzelsteig can almost compete with the Matthildenstaffeln from Teinacher 🥵
A beautiful and recommendable round, we have also attached the Glaswaldsee, which is also worthwhile. Only our path was very overgrown, or ferns felled by the storm blocked the path, which did not prevent us 😁 the descent is pure rubble and goes down quite steeply ☺️
Conclusion, it's …

My 3rd day in the Black Forest starts sunny 🌞. Unfortunately, from midday, just like yesterday, clouds and rain are forecast again 😏.
Today I wanted to be faster than the rain 😀 and started shortly after 8 am at the Teufelskanzelsteig hiking parking lot.
I wanted to walk the Teufelskanzelsteig today and had extended the loop around the Glaswaldsee. …

August 6, 2022,Glaswaldsee – Marienruhe Runde von Bad Griesbach

Today was an absolutely great round on wonderful paths and paths.
Technically rather meager.
Steep long climb.
Apart from a few deviations, the tour follows the premium Teufelskanzelsteig hiking trail.
I can only recommend following the signs from Teufelskanzelsteig. You can also get past the Teufelskanzel and don't run the risk of having to walk paths with ferns and high …

August 16, 2024,Bad Griesbach: Genießerpfad Teufelskanzelsteig mit Glaswaldsee [Premium-Wanderweg]

From the summer ski jump, the route goes to the Griesbach waterfall, which cascades over the boulders. The first climb has to be conquered on moss-covered stone steps along the waterfall. And then it's uphill for the next few kilometers, past the Sexauer Hut, over adventurous paths and stairs to the Teufelskanzel, a large rock formation on the way. The …
