Confluence of the Höllbach and the Alb

Highlight • River

Wildly foaming and several meters wide, the Höllbach flows into the Alb, which here flows calmly, after almost 9 km from its source near Engelschwand. A wonderful spot with a bench and bridge to enjoy this natural spectacle.

Bridge over the Alb River

Highlight • Bridge

In the deeply cut and unspoilt Albbachtal leads here a narrow wooden bridge over the stream. When you stand on the bridge, you should stop once, listen to the murmur of the water and absorb the unique atmosphere in you.

June 1, 2023,Höllbachwasserfall 🥰 Schwarzwald 🌲🌲🌲🌲

On the road in the Black Forest today 🤗 🥰

Mostly on forest paths it goes in the direction of Höllbach.

This and the Höllbach waterfall are definitely worth a trip 😍 the way back was beautiful up to about km 9...
the path was returned to nature by fallen trees, stones and later by branches 🤗 if I had …

July 5, 2022,Vogelbach -😲 Großer Höllbachwasserfall 🐞 Teufelsküche 👹

I spent the day off from school with my son in the Black Forest. From the legendary Teufelskueche we hike to the spectacular Höllbach waterfall. The Albstrudel Teufelskueche is a legendary, about 100 m long bottleneck in the river bed of the Alb. The many washed-out whirlpool holes are striking.
Then we visited the pumped storage power plant in Haeuser …

September 9, 2023,Vom Teufel und der Hölle oder wie man recht elegant und sehenswert im Albtal eine Runde dreht. 😈😅

So. It was hot. Too hot for our taste, but what else could you expect from Hölltal? 😅🤪 But the poor valley can't do anything about it. Despite it. Not necessarily one of our most beautiful rounds, we wouldn't go again, even if it certainly had its corners and charms. In retrospect, we would have arrived less bruised if we …

August 12, 2025,Eine wild romantische Runde von Görwihl über den Albsteig (Südschwarzwald)🐾🌲🐾

We set off from the parking lot by the church – a beautiful hike! Unfortunately, we underestimated the weather a bit and didn't bring enough water.

The Alb was a welcome refreshment for the dogs, and we found fresh springs with clear, clean water along the way – hurray! That made the walk much easier.

Weather forecast for today 38° 😯 only one thing helps, off to the Black Forest and along the stream to cool off 😍

The butcher's shop in Todtmoos is highly recommended, if you're hungry, just brake here🙂
