Triberg Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in Germany. Black Forest, Germany.

Niagara they ain’t but Germany’s highest waterfalls, Triberger Wasserfälle (triberg.de; adult/child €8/7.50), do exude their own wild romanticism. The Gutach River feeds the seven-tiered falls, which drop a total of 163m and are illuminated until 10pm. A paved trail accesses the cascades. Pick up a bag of peanuts at the ticket counter to feed the tribes of inquisitive red squirrels. Entry is cheaper in winter. The falls are in central Triberg. Your ticket also gets you free entry into the Black Forest Museum and the museum dedicated to Instagram selfies, Triberg-Fantasy.
