On the Jungfernsteg and the Teufelssteg (legend has it that the Beelzebub was seen here in person), hikers cross the Selbitz, which flows through the Höllental.

You simply have to see the Höllental when you visit the Franconian Forest.

Hiking

According to legend, a poor charcoal burner once rose up against the devil at night, who only stomped his horse's foot once in anger about it. And then the Höllental, the gorge to the left and right of the Selbitz river, was born. In fact, it was the Selbitz that dug up to 170 meters into the ground over millions of years. bayerische-staatsbaeder.de/de/ungestoertes-naturerlebnis/hoellental-bei-bad-steben
