A remarkable wooden bridge over the Selbitz River and a very popular photo subject in the Höllental Valley. According to legend, the Prince of Hell was once seen on the Devil's Bridge.

Hikers walk on the pipes that carry water to the power plant. On the trail along the right bank of the Selbitz River, you walk on 1.60-meter-high pipes, which carry water for 1,855 meters from the weir to the water tower and from there to the power plant. Sometimes the surface of the pipes peeks through.

It is beautiful here, thanks also to the garden show which is partly responsible for this.

On the Rohrensteig on the right bank of the Selbitz you walk on 1.60 m high tubes in which the water runs over a length of 1855 m (descent: 37.4 m) from the weir to the water tower and from there into the power plant. Occasionally you can see the surface of the pipes. In 2006, the Rohrsteig was opened to the public again after fundamental, expensive repairs.
