Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

Hiking

The Höllbach flows through a rocky valley in the Falkensteiner Vorwald, characterized by mighty gneiss and granite blocks piled on top of each other. During the last ice age, they weathered from the bedrock into a block sea. At this point, the rock appears in a particularly impressive form of "wollsack weathering" (sack weathering). The blocks are largely covered by mosses.

Hiking

Beautiful, as so often described. But this section has not lost anything in the difficult category. Of course you have to climb a little from time to time, but nothing dramatic. Hiked through with a sore knee with no problems. Sturdy shoes are absolutely mandatory!
