This weir system is just one of only three remaining weir systems in the Hotzenwald region. The branch from the Höllbach stream, which supplies water, is located directly on the hiking trail, and the signal box is clearly visible.

The church is the former provost's house of the Benedictine monastery of St. Blasien. It was built in 1283 as a chapel, and in 1698 the church was expanded into a church.

The Hintere Wühre, also known as the Forellenbach, was artificially created in the Middle Ages. The watercourse is two kilometers long and flows from the Höllbach to Görwihl. The Wuhren, as the small dams are called, played an important role in irrigating the meadows, which was a benefit to agriculture in the region.

Laufenburg was first documented in 1173, when the monastery in Säckingen granted the town as a fief to the Habsburgs. The first documented mention of Loufenberc dates back to 1207; the place name means "mountain near the waterfall, near the whirlpool, near the rapids" (Wikipedia).

Laufenburg is a small but beautifully preserved town right on the Rhine. There isn't a huge amount to see, but what there is is lovely.

The Hornberg Basin near Herrischried is Germany's highest reservoir and part of the Wehr pumped-storage power plant. A variety of trails lead around the basin through the extensively planted landscape, which, upon completion, was designed with around 40,000 trees and shrubs. There are also numerous other hiking options and refreshment stops nearby.
