Heavenly circular route through the Hölle nature reserve in the Bavarian Forest.
The name ("Hölle" means "hell") shouldn't be off-putting, as this is a family-friendly and fantastic hiking trail over hill and dale and past huge granite and gneiss boulders. Most of the time, the trail leads through the Höllbach valley and follows the "Wilder Mann 149" and "RB03" markings.
The start is at the car park of the nature reserve. From Brennberg, the number 900 bus to the "Wanderparkplatz Höllbach" bus stop can be taken.
Highlights:
- babbling Höllbach stream
- huge boulders
