    Wirklich sehr schöne Wanderung. Insbesondere der "Umweg" über den "Aussichtspunkt König David" und den Hirschsprung bringt herrliche Aussichten mit. Der Hirschsprung verlangt etwas Trittsicherheit, kann aber problemlos umgangen werden. Auf dem Rückweg sollte man, wie auf den Track ersichtlich, über den Teufelssteg und den gleichen Weg zurück, da der direkte Weg nach Hölle etwas eintönig ist.

    Eine wunderschöne anspruchsvolle Tour durch und um das Höllental, mit vielen Ausblicken. Die Beschreibung ist einfach zu verstehen und sehr genau. Die 2 Sagen zum Vorlesen an den Höhepunkten ‚versüßt‘ die Wanderung. Wir sind nach dem Drachenfels den Drachenfelsweg weiter zum Kesselfels gelaufen ( schöner Ausblick zum König David) und danach der erste unbeschilderte Pfad links zum Weg Hauptweg zurück, von dem man dann in den Felsenpfad einmündet. War eine schöne Variante, auch empfehlenswert.

    Sehr spannende Route. Es gibt viel zu entdecken. Man sollte allerdings trittsicher sein. Aber wer abenteuerliche Wege mag, ist hier genau richtig.

    Wirklich tolle und abwechslungsreiche Wanderung, anstrengender als gedacht bei all den Anstiegen. Fantastische Aussichten mit Bänken die zum Verweilen einladen. Mittelschwer trifft es insgesamt gut!

    Hi Hi, aufgrund eines Tipps in Facebook besuche ich das Höllental bei Hölle 👍 Anders als es der Name vermuten lässt, hat dieses Tal eher etwas von einem Paradies ❤️ Hier zu wandern macht einfach unheimlich viel Spaß😃 Bereits nach den ersten Metern bekomme ich die ersten wunderschönen und großen Felsen zu sehen und das war ja erst der Anfang 💪 Das, was da noch kommen sollte war sowas von klasse das ich mal wieder aus dem Schwärmen nicht mehr herauskam: Felsen, Moos, grandiose Aussichten, wunderschöne Wälder, tolle Pfade und Toasti mittendrin statt nur dabei 😁 Wenn Du Lust hast auf ganz viel wunderschöne Natur, so bist Du im Höllental genau richtig 😃 LG Toasti
