Höllbachgspreng Waterfalls

About roots, rocks and steps leads a trail through the jungle-like Höllbachgespreng steeply upwards. On both sides rise the towering rock walls and complete the exciting panorama.

The trail requires surefootedness and sturdy shoes - in wet weather, you should be careful.

The primeval forest area Höllbachgspreng is located on the steep slopes above the Höllbach threshold (small reservoir) where the Höllbach originated (sprinkled).

The most demanding tour to the Großer Falkenstein (1,315 m) leads over the Höllbachspreng, a wild and romantic landscape with many small waterfalls and an original mixed mountain forest. The Höllbachspreng is one of the oldest nature reserves in the region, since 1997 this area has been part of the Bavarian Forest National Park. The Höllbach Falls are at the entrance to the path, after which the steep path meanders through the impressive rock formations.Peregrine falcons regularly breed here in spring. In order not to disturb the birds as they breed, there may be temporary closures. Please inform yourself in advance and use the signposted diversion via the Sulzschachten during this time.
