The Sankenbach waterfalls are located southwest of Baiersbronn in the Black Forest . The Sankenbach falls in several stages more than 40 m over the Karwand of the Sankenbachkessel. The main case is formed by the Eck'schen horizon of the Lower Buntsandstein . Below the waterfall , on the floor of the Kars, lies the Sankenbachsee, which was once almost silted up but has been restored by damming .
Because of the catchment area of only 0.65 square kilometers, hardly 3 l / s of water flow over the fall on an annual average. From a footbridge above the main step, however, the inflowing water in the small stilling basin of the first drop step above can be dammed up using a wooden slide; After opening the slide, the accumulated water then falls down for a while in an intensified gush. Below the main case, there are two lower case levels.
The Sankenbacher waterfalls and their surroundings are designated as 4.8 hectares of extensive natural monument .
