Birthday Outing to the Triberg Waterfalls, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, September 12, 1936

A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of waterfalls.

Handwritten note on the other side of this real photo postcard: "Von meinem Geburtstagsausflug an die Triberger Wasserfälle, 12. Sept. 1936." (Translation: "From my birthday outing to the Triberg Waterfalls, 12 Sept. 1936.")

The names of "Mr. & Mrs. Vogal, Pforzheim, Germany" are written in a different hand where an address would go. There's no stamp or postmark, however, so I wonder if the Vogals are the couple in the photo.

As Wikipedia explains, the Triberg Waterfalls "are waterfalls near Triberg in the Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg (Germany). With a descent of 163 m, it is one of the highest waterfalls in Germany and a landmark in the Black Forest region."

Search for Triberger Wasserfälle to see other Ipernity photos of the falls.

For another souvenir photo from a different waterfall, see Frances and Ned at Leura Falls, New South Wales, Australia, March 15, 1914.

A beautiful, fairytale-like waterfall!
And Mr. and Mrs. Vogal's outfits could not be more elegant.

Thanks, Deborah! Judging by their appearance, I doubt that they had to hike very far to get to the falls!
