Höllental (Black Forest)

The Höllental is a deep, gorge-like valley about nine kilometers long in the Southern Black Forest Nature Park of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, roughly eighteen kilometers southeast of Freiburg im Breisgau between Hinterzarten and Buchenbach-Himmelreich. The Rotbach stream runs through the narrow, shadowed valley, whose German name means hell valley for how enclosed and dark it can feel to travelers passing through. The valley was also the site of the 1796 Battle of Emmendingen during the French Revolutionary Wars.
