Highlight • Bridge

A rustic wooden bridge, which slightly changes direction in the middle with a kink, leads here over the Höllbach stream. On days when the wooden planks are particularly slippery, the railing attached to one side provides a little more security.

Today we're off on a short break with FriendsNdates! The Bavarian Forest isn't exactly around the corner, but that didn't stop us. On the way there, we stopped for a quick hike – after all, you have to enjoy the journey!

This is not a sandal trail. You should also be sure-footed. If it rains, this could be a very slippery affair

I'm out in the Bavarian Forest this weekend with friends. My first hike today without the group was in the Höllenbachtal valley. It was a very beautiful and rustic starting point, with only about 80 meters of elevation gain. There were many rock formations in and around the Höllbach stream. A very worthwhile route that could be extended.

In the heat you go to hell 😅
Beautiful circular route along the rushing stream. Picnic on a rock in the middle of the stream. A little bathing is always possible.

The Höllbachtal belongs to the Upper Bavarian Forest Nature Park. The hike is easy but really worthwhile. The rock formations have something romantic about them.

Wedding day and hell. But rather, heaven on earth. A unique and worth seeing circular hike near Postfelden.

Today, I had to move a tour from the planning list to the to-do list. The Höllbachtal valley in Postfelden was the right distance away, so I set off from the well-filled hiking parking lot around 3:00 p.m. I walked clockwise, which proved to be a good idea.
The wind couldn't deny its origins; it felt cold through the fibers …
