The sulfur spring "Mineral Spring Höll" on the Breitach was already used by the Walser several hundred years ago. The water from the spring is believed to have healing effects against rheumatism, respiratory diseases, and circulatory problems. This sulfur spring was newly tapped in 1966 and a scientific report was obtained from the University of Freiburg. It describes a so-called cold sulfur spring. The water emerges in a niche in the flysch rock and is bacteriologically clean. The smell of hydrogen sulfide is clearly noticeable.

The water treading pool at Rohrweg in Riezlern is one of the nature experience spots in Kleinwalsertal and invites you to linger. The nature experience spots are popular quiet zones in the hiking trail network. The beautifully located natural Kneipp area at Rohrweg includes a water treading pool with loungers and offers a fantastic view over Hirschegg.
