Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

True to its name, the Grande Cascade de Tendon was the larger of two waterfalls in relatively close proximity to each other in Northeastern France. This particular waterfall featured a cumulative drop of about 32m, which was enough to proclaim this to be the highest waterfall in the Vosges Department (named after the mountainous massif in the northeast of France near the German border).

Visiting this waterfall was easy as it was already visible from the parking area (see directions below). From there, we merely walked up a somewhat rocky and uneven path alongside the waterfall’s stream before reaching a spot near the base of the main drop. Given the slippery and uneven nature of the terrain, we had to really watch our step to avoid injury.

At this vantage point, we could cleanly see most of the main drop but the upper tiers were more concealed by the overgrowth and the sloping cliff faces responsible for the main drop of the falls. While the trail appeared to continue to on by veering further to the left away from the waterfall, we were content with this short but sweet experience before heading back down.

Overall, we only spent about 45 minutes away from the car, but we easily could have spent less if we wanted to. That said, we also could have extended our visit by walking the lower trail from the car park towards the nearby Petite Cascade de Tendon though we were able to get there by car.
