Discovering waterfalls in the Black Forest

Todtnauer waterfall: Fujifilm X-T4, Fujinon XF 16-55 mm, f/11, ISO 80, 1/6 s

Since we still has a lockdown situation in Germany, we spent our latest weekends in the Black Forest, hiking below snow level and visiting some old and new waterfalls. 
Todtnau
The first destination was the well-known Todtnauer waterfall, which is the highest waterfall in the whole Black Forest region. You may hear the same for the Triberger waterfall, which may be true in terms of length, but believe me, this one in Todtnau is much more robust with it's tremendous wall and thick water stream on one huge cliff falling down. The location is easy to approach, there are plenty of parking spaces, and ticket is seasonal - and cheap (hopefully they only collect it to finance picking up the trash). 
From photography perspective I was lazy at some points, tried to push my camera IBIS to its limits and take long exposure shots without a tripod using my XF 16-55mm f/2.8 lens. Here's an example from our visit:

In the end, I wanted some more mystical feeling on the top waterfall, which also couldn't fit in my focal length... In the next shot you can see a wider angle using tripod and an ND1000 filter to darken enough:

Burgbach 
The next destination was straight to the Burgbach waterfall in the mid-eastern part of  the Black Forest region. This one needed a bit more walk and was well hidden in the deep of the forest. First we planned a 12 km hiking around this monumental sightseeing, but the weather started to go worse and I left my rain jacket at home. 
Nevertheless we took a shorter trail up to the heart of the woods wearing my softshell jacket and hoping for a stable weather - which was already a bit rainy. 
Here I only used my 16-55 mm lenses with a gradient filter and of course using a tripod,  tried to find an appealing composition.  First I have tried with the wooden stair steps to make a composition leading the eye up to the cliff, however the waterfall seemed too small on it. Finally some interesting roots gave me an idea for a vertical photo:

Lotenbachklamm
The third and final trip lead us to Wutachschlucht, the valley of the river Wutach, a beautiful small canyon in the forest with nice cliffs, peaceful streams and a lot of flowers. At the beginning of this valley there's a steeper and wilder gorge which is called Lotenbachklamm. Here the smaller stream Lotenbach is trying to get it's way down to the valley and join into the river Wutach. 
Here again I was the lazy guy trying to make the best without a tripod. We enjoyed the walk and the sight of demolition of  trees (due to storm and not by people), I wasn't thinking too much about taking breathtaking photos, and sometimes - believe me - it's for the best. 
In the end I was able to capture some decent photos, here's one of my work captured handheld with my 16-55 mm lens again taking advantage of the IBIS in the X-T4:
