Great wooden bridge 🤩 I personally find the view from the bridge fascinating 😊, almost like a gorge in the Alps with lots of small rocks 🫶🏻

A beautiful wooden bridge worth seeing. There are two wooden bridges in the Höllental Valley. The Jungfernsteg and the Teufelssteg.

Really nice tour through the Höllental. Nature is still fine there. Along the Selbitz stream you can listen to the rushing of the water and the chirping of the birds. Just gorgeous. Not to forget the rock formations to the right and left.
