Hölle Valley (Black Forest)

The Hölle Valley (German: Höllental) in the Black Forest is a deep valley - in places like a ravine - in the state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany. The valley, which is about 9 kilometres long, is located in the southern part of the Southern Black Forest Nature Park about 18 km southeast of Freiburg im Breisgau between Hinterzarten and Buchenbach-Himmelreich. The Rotbach stream (initially called the Höllenbach) runs through the valley. The name "Hölle" may be derived from the German word for "hell" and allude to the risk of travellers being attacked and robbed as they passed through the valley.
