The car park is free from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m.; during the day it costs €5. Wonderful location, level and gravelled. Perfectly located on the hiking trail to the waterfall. Very quiet. The women's toilets were also open at night when we visited.Translating
Quiet place after the hikers have left. Paid between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Quiet at night. Bins available. Perfect starting point for hiking. Toilets are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the season and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. outside it.Translating
Large car park, very suitable for vans. Free from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m.; check the payment machine in case the hours change. Very quiet at night.Translating
Beautiful place, but according to a city employee, overnight stays are not permitted. You must use the official motorhome pitch a few metres further on, where electricity and tourist tax are included.Translating
We spent a quiet night here (€5 during the day, free from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m.). It is best to park at the back near the toilets, where there are large bays. The service station with waste disposal and fresh water is also there; €1 provides about 50 litres. The newly established official motorhome area is directly in front, separated only by a small fence. Very pleasant walk to Urach Waterfall.Translating
Very beautiful and quiet after 6 p.m.; very busy during the day, especially at weekends.Translating
Beautifully located directly on the hiking trail, with shady trees and very well maintained. The Kneipp facility near the toilets is a treat after a day of hiking ;-) Busy during the day in good hiking weather, but it empties rapidly from 5 p.m. The nearby restaurant has a lovely beer garden, tasty food and clean toilets. We stayed two nights.Translating
Very nice and quiet car park for overnight stays and hiking. The toilets were clean but open only from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. We parked our camper in the lower third, where there are simply fewer hikers. The €5 daytime fee is absolutely justified. I would use this place again next time.Translating
We stayed one night and it was very quiet. The public toilets were still open at 8 p.m. and reopened at 9 in the morning. Please behave appropriately so this option remains available.Translating
Very quiet. Toilets available. Many parking spaces under trees in a valley away from the road. Flat daily rate of €5.Translating
A really great place to spend the night and hike from. The walks to the waterfall and the ruins are wonderful. Next time we also want to visit the "Hölle." The toilets are okay and open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The lower parking spaces are probably quieter, while those near the restaurant are more popular. We will definitely return.Translating
Fantastic place, clean toilets and a beautiful location. The walk to the castle ruins and waterfall is highly recommended.Translating
Pleasant car park, reasonably quiet night. Paid from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., €5. There is a restaurant next door, and toilets a little farther away by the second car park.Translating
Nice quiet parking place to spend a night. Around 20 minutes walk to the waterfall. Newish clean toilets open during paid parking hours. Costs €5 between 9am and 5pm. Can pay by app. Bins too. Aldi around a 20 minute walk and it's close to Bad Urach train station.
Mostly level hikers' car park at Urach Waterfall. Quiet at night, busy during the day. Parking meter from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Everything wonderful! Please do not park across the spaces—you cannot occupy three or four spaces—and take your rubbish with you!Translating
A nice, level car park; we had a very quiet night. Day fee €5 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A hike to the Bad Urach waterfalls is highly recommended, as are good, preferably waterproof shoes, because the path along the waterfall is partly flooded.Translating
