Dörlinbach is sometimes referred to as " The Fountain Village". This titling goes back to a more or less successful, marketing campaign of some local councils as well as the tourist office in the eighties and nineties of the last century. They were looking for a crowd-pulling nickname for the village, which should describe the peculiarities of the place and decided lack of alternatives, for the title " The Fountain Village". As a result of this action then created some new wells, which invited the expectant tourists to stay.
The funded over many decades, tourism has also today still a high priority for the community, not in the sense of absolute numbers, but as a goal of community development. Marked the newly-elected mayor in 2004, Gabbert in numerous interviews, the development of tourism as the most important projects of his tenure, which he plans to launch a significant step forwards.

The church is dedicated to Saint Romanus. A basic interior renovation was completed in 1977. However, an arson attack in October 2004 made a new renovation necessary. At Pentecost 2005, the church was covered with a solemn church service, led by Bishop Bernd Uhl again.

The Schutter originates at Hünersedel, above Schweighausen to 680 meters. Enriched by several small streams from the source base region, the young Schutter in a westerly direction makes its way through the Loh - valley, united in the mountain village Schweighausen with the Geisbergbach, rushes like a mountain stream through boulders down to " Schutter angle" and then flows swiftly hurrying north.
