December 29, 2024,Höllbachtal – Höllbach Brücke Runde von Postfelden

Nice round, but with (too) much road

Today we went to the Höllbachtal. It is always impressive when you hike through this rocky valley, which is extremely popular with excursionists. The hiking trails mostly follow the natural course of the terrain and are therefore all the more impressive. Sturdy shoes or hiking boots are therefore almost mandatory here.

Great tour, 5 kilometers are enough, if you do the 12 it feels like 3 km of road.

The hike was actually longer, GPS on the smartphone kept dropping out. Next time I'll rely on the Garmin Fenix 👍

Went through hell today. No, seriously: The “Hölle” nature reserve in the Cham district near Falkenstein is a wonderful hiking and excursion destination.

The “Hölle” nature reserve is one of the oldest in the Cham district. The Höllbach flows through a sea of blocks made of granite stones, which are created by the so-called wool sack weathering of the granite. …

Cycling isn't an option, so I'll go to Hell. The start is in Brennberg. There's a large castle ruin here, which I saved for last. I had no idea how beautiful Hell is. 🔥🔥😅🙋🏼‍♂️
