Bühlertal between Rocks, Vineyards and Waterfalls

Another natural highlight is the Gertelbach Waterfalls in Bühlertal. They descend a total of 330 metres. This complements the rock formations at Engelsberg with a different landscape experience: here, the water takes centre stage, while the vineyards also stand out there. At the end of the AugenBlick trail, you can cool off at the Bühlot outdoor swimming pool in summer or visit the Nature Park information shop. This gives you the choice of focusing your plans on a walk featuring rocks and vineyards, or on a stay with a particular interest in the waterfalls.

Nature Park and Local Character

Bühlertal is a gateway community of the Black Forest Central/North Nature Park and is also home to its administrative office. The Nature Park is therefore a visible part of the town’s character—not just as a landscape feature, but also as an institution with an office in the town. This offers an additional way to explore Bühlertal and its surroundings as you plan your trip. Together with the rock formations, vineyards and waterfalls, it makes for a destination whose appeal stems from a combination of natural and cultural landscape features.

Getting Here and Finding Your Way

Buses 263 and 264 run regularly from Bühl railway station to Bühlertal. The Schwimmbad and Post stops are listed as possible places to get off in Bühlertal. If you arrive by train and want to continue by bus, you can include this connection in your travel plans. Check which stop is best for your specific destination. If you are travelling by car, parking is available at the Bühlotbad, by the tourist information office and on Laubenstraße. These details give you several locations to consider when planning your journey to Bühlertal.

Crafts and Wine Events

The town’s history offers another point of interest: the origins of the Geiserschmiede date back to the 16th century. If you are interested in Bühlertal’s cultural side, you can explore this historical connection alongside its landscapes. The annual wine fairs and wine-hiking days in Bühlertal offer another option. They provide a different focus from a walk through the landscape or a visit to the waterfalls. As these events take place regularly, you can consider them a reason to plan your trip around them.

The Right Holiday Apartment for Your Stay

When looking for a holiday apartment in Bühlertal, you can start by thinking about which side of the town you want to shape your stay: the AugenBlick trail with its rocks and vineyards, the Gertelbach Waterfalls, the Nature Park, or culture and wine events. This choice helps you decide what you want your trip to focus on, without requiring every experience to have the same emphasis. For families or groups travelling together, the mix of nature, history and recurring events can be especially appealing when different interests are part of the holiday plans. Choose a holiday apartment to suit the kind of stay in Bühlertal you have in mind; it is best to start with the experiences that appeal to you most.
