Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

The Geroldsau Waterfall was one of the more obscure waterfalls that we’ve encountered in our waterfalling tour of Germany. In this particular case, we hardly saw any fanfare nor signage letting us know of its existence whether in the field or even during our pre-trip research.

So what compelled us to take the trouble to find it?

Well, it happened to be very close to the town of Baden Baden, and so it was kind of our excuse to give the town a try even though we suspected that it was more catered towards adults than it was for a family with a child.

There was a trail that continued past the top of the Geroldsau Waterfall though we didn’t go up there to see where else this trail went
It turned out that our suspicions were confirmed regarding the adult-orientation of the town (at least if the goal was to get the most out of it), and despite all that, we now have it earmarked for a return trip if we’re fortunate to have the circumstances allow for it. Indeed, we’re still looking forward to the day that Julie and I could finally check out the Kurhaus Casino as well as the Roman Irish Bathhouse without Tahia’s age holding us back as well as our dress code not being up to par.

The way we did the waterfall was to go on a short walk from a pullout that was only 150m from the lookout for the falls itself (see directions below). After parking the car, we walked about 50m or so towards a small sign that said “Zum Wasserfall”. Then, we descended towards an area by the Grobbach Creek where there was a shelter, a bridge, and that aforementioned lookout.

This was about the extent of our brief visit as we were happily basking in the tranquility of the scene before us. However, the second hand cigarette smoke from a family that was chilling out in the shelter during our visit all but ensured that our visit would be brief.

There were other trails that went both above the brink of the Geroldsau Waterfall as well as another that continued further downstream across the bridge by the shelter. All told, we only spent less than a half-hour away from the car, but it easily could have been longer or shorter depending on your mood.

Finally, I’ve also seen this waterfall referred to as the Geroldsauer Waterfall as well as Geroldsauer Wasserfall or Geroldsau Wasserfall in German.
