Different Paths

Part of my ongoing "Black Forest Waterfalls" series

 

The waterfalls of Allerheiligen ("All Hallows") have a total height of 83 m over seven steps and are located deep in the Black Forest, not far away from the famous monastery with the same name. Even though they are now among the top visited waterfalls, they were not accessible for centuries because of their location in a deep, narrow canyon. The stairs depicted here were first constructed in 1840.
