Görwihl is one of the "centers" in the Hotzenwald. For many centuries it belonged to the County of Hauenstein and thus to Further Austria. Its history is very lively, for example, it played a major role in the saltpeter riots. This eventful history can be traced in the local history museum. Old looms and a village school are also exhibited there.

The Albtalbrücke impresses with its size and the view deep into the Albtal. From here, you have a great view of the wooded landscape and the Black Forest valleys – particularly exciting on tours through the region.

The path along the Höllbach stream is an experience in itself, crossing the wildly rushing mountain torrent on several bridges. The water shoots and gurgles over stones and sometimes even rock barriers; the highest waterfall has a drop of 8.5 meters. Trees overhang the streambed; you should really take your time here and enjoy the view.

Here the Höllbach meets the Alb. Nice corner to stay. Grilling and swimming is also possible. We've done it many times. With the bike, the paths around this place are more for safe riders. Very nice for hiking here. But prams have to stay at home, the trails are very narrow and sometimes steep with stairs.
