Discover Vorderfalkau

Vorderfalkau combines water, paths and various opportunities for an eventful stay. The Falkau Waterfall with its two cascades is particularly distinctive: here, the Haslach plunges into a pool and continues its course as a right-bank tributary of the Wutach. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Vorderfalkau will find a place where nature experiences and varied ideas for day trips can be combined.

The Falkau Waterfall Trail

An important point of interest is the historic Falkau Waterfall Trail. It was revived by the Vorderfalkau Interest Group and is accessible again. The trail puts the waterfall at the center and offers a practical way to experience the landscape around Vorderfalkau. When planning your trip, it is worth considering this trail as a separate focus if you would like to include waterways and short nature destinations in your stay.

A longer hiking connection also passes through the village. The route “From Neustadt (Black Forest) via the Hochfirst to Feldberg-Altglashütten” reaches Vorderfalkau via the Lenzkirch Trail. This places the village within a named hiking route. From the “Vorderfalkau” trail junction, a short detour also leads down to the Falkau Waterfall. When planning, you can therefore choose between a stay with the waterfall as a destination in its own right and a hike that passes through Vorderfalkau.

Take Note of Current Trail Conditions

A hiking trail in the Vorderfalkau area is currently closed because it has been washed away and was probably also undermined by water. This restriction is important for practical orientation on site: When planning your day, check which trail you would like to include and explicitly take the closure into account. It does not automatically affect all of the trails mentioned or the Waterfall Trail, but it should play a role when selecting your route.

The Haslach, Schwarzbach Trail and Relaxation

The Schwarzbach Trail offers another perspective on the waterside landscape. Before the Haslach Bridge, it follows the banks of the Haslach to the riding stable in Mittelfalkau. The trail thus connects the route along the water with a clearly named destination. For travelers who would like to gather different impressions, this section complements the waterfall trails with a different route along the Haslach.

Anyone wishing to alternate between active trail sections and a short break can also include the foot-wading facility in the Falkau spa gardens in their plans. It offers refreshment and relaxation and provides a distinct accent alongside hikes and visits to the waterfall. This makes it possible to put together different daily rhythms without structuring the stay exclusively around a long route.

Choose Vorderfalkau as Your Base

When looking for a holiday apartment, you should consider which of these experiences will be the focus of your trip: the historic Waterfall Trail, the detour to the Falkau Waterfall, a hike via the Lenzkirch Trail or paths along the Haslach. What matters is your personal day planning and which routes you actually want to combine. The destinations and trails mentioned provide several specific starting points for this, without every excursion having to be of the same character.

For further orientation, you can also visit Altglashütten. Vorderfalkau itself remains particularly interesting if you would like to incorporate the waterfall, the Haslach and various hiking options into your travel plans.
