Zweribach waterfalls, 779 m, from the St. Märgen heights
The Simonswälder Tal, a branch of the Elz valley that merges into the Upper Rhine lowlands near Waldkirch, is one of the most impressive depressions in the Black Forest with its up to 700 m high valley sides. Dominated by the 1241 m high Kandel and the up to 1177 m high Rohrhardsberg-Farnberg plateau, a number of natural monuments have developed in the steep walls, two of which are particularly impressive today: the Hirschbach waterfalls and the Zweribach waterfalls. Although the route from the St. Märgen heights is not the shortest access route, the descent through the Bannwald forest is a scenic undertaking for which, in addition to a little fitness, good footwear and surefootedness are required.
