Hölle, Nature reserve in Rettenbach and Brennberg, Germany
The reserve spans 17 hectares of forest land with large granite blocks scattered throughout, forming a stone sea across the landscape.
The first hydroelectric plant near Höllbach was constructed in 1909, leading to significant changes in the water flow patterns through the gorge.
Environmental organizations have worked to restore natural water flows in the area through legal actions and conservation efforts since the early 2000s.
The circular hiking trail extends 4.1 kilometers with an elevation gain of 78 meters, starting from the Lösmühle parking area.
The Höllbach stream flows beneath massive granite formations, creating distinctive sounds that resemble a pulsating rhythm through the stone.
