The Höllental "Hell's Valley" 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 (also called Höllenbach in the upper Höllental) runs through the valley. "Hölle" is the German word for "hell". The valley was the locale of the Battle of Emmendingen in 1796, part of the French Revolutionary Wars.
