Loop
Varied loop from Görwil, Baden-Württemberg.
From the Görwihl local history museum, the Hotzenwald trail follows the natural Alb valley. Here, the Alb has carved deep into the gneiss rocks over thousands of years. The path leads up the valley to Höllbachtal, where the water does not flow in a single gush, but gurgles over moss-covered rock steps and cascades. Lush ferns and a special flora characterize this cool gorge. At the Sägmoos hiking parking lot, a barbecue hut offers a rest area before the trail leads back via Heiligmoos. Sturdy footwear is recommended for the sometimes slippery sections in the valley.
