ゲルヴィルのおすすめツーリングルート

This weir system is just one of only three remaining weir systems in the Hotzenwald region. The branch from the Höllbach stream, which supplies water, is located directly on the hiking trail, and the signal box is clearly visible.

The Hintere Wühre, also known as the Forellenbach, was artificially created in the Middle Ages. The watercourse is two kilometers long and flows from the Höllbach to Görwihl. The Wuhren, as the small dams are called, played an important role in irrigating the meadows, which was a benefit to agriculture in the region.

Laufenburg was first documented in 1173, when the monastery in Säckingen granted the town as a fief to the Habsburgs. The first documented mention of Loufenberc dates back to 1207; the place name means "mountain near the waterfall, near the whirlpool, near the rapids" (Wikipedia).

Laufenburg is a small but beautifully preserved town right on the Rhine. There isn't a huge amount to see, but what there is is lovely.

Here, you can experience mining in the past. It's worth a detour and a break. The tunnel also serves as a cooling-off point in hot weather.

The Glacier Mill, also known as Krai-Woog-Gumpen, is a waterfall and glacial mill in the Southern Black Forest, more precisely in the Schwarzenbächletal valley near Görwihl. It was probably formed by glacial erosion during the Ice Age and was only discovered and excavated in 1955. The name, of Alemannic origin, means "loudly rushing waterfall."

At this pond, you can clearly see why the stream is named after it. There's a sign here with interesting information about the ecosystem.
