From Basel it is an hour and three quarters by car, just right for a Sunday. You climb beside the Triberg waterfalls, the highest in Germany, with the Schwarzwaldmuseum included in the ticket; you eat at the Gasthaus Staude, a family inn in the meadows of Gremmelsbach, and spend the afternoon at the Vogtsbauernhof, the open-air museum in Gutach, among farmhouses brought piece by piece from other districts. ## How to get there from Spain There is a direct flight from several Spanish cities to Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg airport (BSL), on the outskirts of Basel. Hire the car there and sleep the night before in Basel or Freiburg; if you want to split the trip, the Gasthaus Staude has 11 rooms a few minutes from the waterfalls. This plan needs a car: you can reach Triberg and Gutach by train, but with changes and without the inn, which is outside the village. ## The day, hour by hour 8:30 · Departure. From Basel north on the A5 to Offenburg and the B33 along the Kinzig valley, or crossing the mountains via Freiburg. A little under two hours by either route. 10:15 · Triberg waterfalls. Main entrance at Hauptstraße 85. The Gutach drops 163 m in seven falls; the path climbs over bridges and viewpoints. With the Triberg-Card, €9 in summer 2027, you also enter the Schwarzwaldmuseum, with cuckoo clocks and regional costumes. 12:30 · Lunch at the Gasthaus Staude. A quarter of an hour by car to the Obertal. Black Forest cooking with fresh trout, game and its three-tier Black Forest gateau, when it is available. Call to book if there are several of you. 14:15 · Vogtsbauernhof museum. About 25 minutes to Gutach on the B33. Around the 1612 farmhouse that gives it its name there are farmhouses and houses brought from other districts, with a mill, a water-powered sawmill and animals of old breeds; on Sundays there is a family workshop from 11:00 to 16:00. Allow two to three hours. Admission, €13; ages 6 to 17, €7. Last entry at 17:00. 17:30 · Journey back. From Gutach to Basel, a good hour and a half. ## Is it for me? If you are travelling with children, yes: waterfalls with an easy path, a clock museum, lunch in the countryside and an afternoon among cows, hens and houses you can walk into. If you are looking for mountains and few tourists, this is not your day: Triberg is the busiest place in the Black Forest. ## Cómo llegar ### By car It is the natural way: the three stops are less than half an hour from each other. ### Without a car Only in part: the Schwarzwaldbahn stops at Triberg and the Vogtsbauernhof has its own Ortenau-S-Bahn stop, with a change at Hausach. The Gasthaus Staude is out of reach: eat in Triberg. ## Consejos ### Get to the waterfalls before 10:30 By mid-morning the paths fill up. ### Do not go on a Monday or Tuesday The restaurant at the Gasthaus Staude is closed. ### Start the museum with the Vogtsbauernhof farmhouse It is the 1612 one, the only one still in its original place. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### How long does it take from Basel to Triberg? About 105 minutes by car. ### Does it work on a Sunday? Yes: the waterfalls, the museum and the Gasthaus Staude are open on Sunday, in the museum's season. ### Can it be done in winter? Not entirely: the Vogtsbauernhof is closed from November to March and at the waterfalls only the lower stretch is open. ### How much does it cost?
