It is not the Glotter, but the Lossele, a waterway diverted from the Glotter that flows directly into the Elz. However, it may indeed be the original bed of the Glotter.

This artist's rest area with vinewood angels made from old vines is located on the hiking trail, surrounded by vineyards. During Advent and Christmas there is a very special attraction in Glottertal, when the tranquil wine village becomes the "Valley of Angels" and these can be visited on a short circular route.
