Hiking

From the Allerheiligen monastery ruins, you hike through unspoilt mixed forests and on narrow rocky paths along the largest, natural waterfall in the northern Black Forest. The Lierbach eats its way through the granite here in Allerheiligen and falls a total of 66 meters down.

The 100 meter high walls of the gorge shine deep green from the moist, shiny moss. There are many legends about the monastery ruins and the unspoilt mountain forest of the gorge slope, some of which you can learn about along the way.
From the angel's pulpit above the falls there is an unobstructed view through the gorge.

Finally, a wider path leads back to the monastery courtyard over many steps. The last section of the upper gorge is also accessible with a pram. The national park team regularly offers guided hikes along the waterfalls.

All Saints' Abbey ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

The remains of the monastery church form the most impressive part of the monastery ruins. Its cross-shaped floor plan is clearly visible in the still-standing walls, which display architectural styles ranging from late Romanesque to late Gothic.

According to legend, a girl on the run here was carried by angels across the gorge and was thus saved.

All Saints Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

I recommend hiking the All Saints Falls from the bottom to the top; they look more spectacular this way, as you always have the falls in front of you. They are particularly impressive in spring and after prolonged rains; after extended dry periods, they are far less beautiful. In winter, the path, if passable at all, is often icy and not without danger. In summer, it is pleasantly cool here.

I had actually planned an extensive hike at the Hornisgrinde and a visit to the mermaid.
Unfortunately, after arriving, I decided to take this short walk nearby.
The reason for this was a fairly "stiff breeze" and visibility of less than 50m.
Maybe another time🤷🏻‍♂️

All Saints Waterfall is a very beautiful natural wonder with a lovely circular trail.
Due to limited parking, you should arrive early on weekends.
I started my circular trail at the All Saints Chapel and enjoyed the consistently beautiful view of the waterfall from the top. When I arrived at the main entrance, there were already lots of tourists milling …

Above the waterfalls, the hiking trail leads us along the rather small Grindenbach to the former Premonstratensian monastery of Gothic architecture, founded 1191 - 1196, and allows us …

Entertaining round at the All Saints Waterfalls

Since we like to be out and about early in the morning, we enjoyed the quiet and being alone at the monastery and on the circular route. Above the monastery is a chapel that is open to visitors and is kept bright. Through the monastery complex we came to the circular path, which …
