Allerheiligen Waterfalls & Abbey Ruins
Allerheiligen-Wasserfälle & Klosterruine
One of the tallest stepped waterfalls in the Black Forest, with seven cascades dropping about 90 meters, and the Gothic ruins of an abbey above.
The waterfall lies beside the Black Forest High Road near Oppenau. A trail with wooden stairs and railings winds up and down the gorge for about 40 minutes, offering close views of water cascading through the rock in tiers. Upstream, the Allerheiligen Abbey was founded in the 12th century and was destroyed by fire after a lightning strike in the 19th century. Its Gothic arched windows make a striking ruin. Admission is free. It is about 50 km from Baden-Baden and is often visited together with Mummelsee by car.
