The tears of Gutta
In the mystical depths of the Black Forest, behind the three majestic mountains, an ancient legend is spun about the proud Gutta of Triberg. Her tears, turned into a petrified rock by an ancient oath, give rise to the source of the Gutach, which eventually flows into the famous Triberg waterfall.
Legend tells of a time when Gutta von Triberg lived in proud solitude. A dark oath embedded in the roots of the past caused her to freeze into a majestic rock. Since then, her eyes have been constantly weeping, and these tears form the source of the Gutach, which pours down in a thunderous fall into the depths of the Black Forest.
A living fairy tale that pervades the landscape of the Black Forest gives the Triberg Waterfall a spiritual aura. The stories of times gone by come to life through the rushing of the water, and the petrified Gutta of Triberg, in its timeless tear-stained splendor, remains a symbol of the intricate connection between nature and legend. A place where reality and myth unite in a fascinating dance.
