Sankenbach Waterfalls
Also known as: Sankenbach-Wasserfälle
Waterfall in Germany. The Sankenbach Waterfalls are a cascade southwest of the village of Baiersbronn in the Black Forest in Germany. The Sankenbach flows over the waterfalls, dropping a total of 40 metres. The falls drop down the headwall of the cirque of the Sankenbach Bowl in the Eckscher Horizon of the Lower Bunter Sandstone. Shortly afterwards the Sankenbach feeds the Sankenbachsee.
The volume of the waterfall can be regulated by visitors by impounding the inflowing water in a small retaining basin above the upper waterfall using a slider. The volume of the cascading water increases for a while after the slider is lifted. It is operated from a footbridge which crosses the little reservoir by means of a long wooden lever.

Mountain in Germany. The Rinkenkopf is a mountain, 760 m high, on the territory of Baiersbronn in the Northern Black Forest. The wooded mountain ridge is bounded in the south by the Murg valley and in the northeast by the valley of the Tonbach. To the northwest a roughly 50-metre-deep saddle separates it from the foothills of the Grindenschwarzwald.
On the mountain are the Rinkenwall (Rinkenmauer), Rinken Tower (Rinkenturm) and two transmission towers. Several hiking trails lead there, including the Murgleiter and der Genießerpfad to the Sattelei Hut.[4]
