The Triberg Waterfalls in Germany’s Black Forest are an absolute must-see with kids—and one of those stops where nature really does all the entertaining for you. At 163 meters high, these are some of the tallest waterfalls in the country, and the cascading water is just as magical in person as it sounds.

Families will find the paths well-maintained and stroller-friendly at the lower levels, but if you want to climb higher for different viewpoints, a baby carrier is the way to go. There are several trail options (with maps at the entrance), so you can choose shorter or longer routes depending on your kids’ ages and energy.

🎟 Prices: Adults are around €8, kids 8–17 are €4, and little ones under 7 are free. Tickets include access to all paths and viewpoints.

🍫 Fun bonus: At the base of the falls you’ll find small shops and cafés, including plenty of chances to try a slice of the famous Black Forest cake—a perfect family reward after your hike.

🐿 Pro tip: Keep an eye out for the squirrels along the trails! Kids love spotting them, and there are often vendors selling little bags of peanuts to feed them (just don’t let the kids eat them first 😉).

The nearby town of Triberg makes this stop even better—it’s filled with cute shops (yes, including cuckoo clocks!) and places to grab a meal before or after exploring. It’s the kind of outing that mixes adventure, fresh air, and a taste of local culture all in one.
