Stubenwagen is the source of the Stübenbach River, some 1,386 m high. From there, the river snakes through the beautiful, high Todtnauberg valley where it is joined by other clear mountain streams. Finally the water cascades in two stages over a mighty granite rock and down into the valley below, accompanied by a loud roaring noise.

The totally natural waterfall has been protected by a preservation order since June 1987 and is one of the 10 most beautiful natural monuments in all Germany. Over 500,000 guests visit this natural spectacle each year. On cold winter nights the waterfall freezes and becomes a bizarre structure of massive icicles.

Until the 18th century this region was a significant source of silver ore. The entire mountain is full of disused mining shafts. Some 200 m from the kiosk in the direction of the waterfall there is another natural monument on the left of the path: a 300 year-old beech tree. The wind and weather have sculpted this tree over the centuries. Around 300 m to the east of the upper part of the waterfall stands the legendary monolith known as the "Schatzstein". The secret of the lettering carved into this stone remains a mystery to this day.

These natural waterfalls can be reached from the car parks in both Todtnauberg and Aftersteg.
