Volcanic activity during prehistoric times shaped this region. In the Neolithic period, the course of the Selbitz river sawed up to 170 meters deep into the volcanic rock and created a narrow gorge.

The Höllental is definitely worth a visit. 👍🟢

Super cool tour with a lot of input from our ranger Ines. Formation and current status of the forest.. Partly no GPS connection on the way back.. Otherwise worth a day trip

Once again in Höllental, but always beautiful, tons of different paths and options.

We were skeptical at first, as it turned out to be a small oasis. Small lake attached, WiFi worked!!! Relaxed nice operators. We could choose a place. Sanitary facilities are new. Small takeaway, but not always open.

A beautiful hike with many highlights. We recommend.
