Waterfalls and impressive rock formations can be found on the path across Höllbachgespreng.

The most challenging tour to Großer Falkenstein (1,315 meters above sea level) leads across the Höllbachgespreng, a wild and romantic landscape with many small waterfalls and primeval mixed mountain forest. The Höllbachgespreng is one of the eldest nature reserves of the region and the area is part of the Bavarian Forest National Park since 1997. The Höllbach-Fälle can be found at the beginning of the path. Then the steep path meanders upwards through impressive rock formations.
