The Aftergraben is the smaller version of the Teufelsgraben, but just as beautiful and interesting

Starting point for a detour to the supposedly most beautiful part of the Teufelsloch nature reserve. At this bridge, the Teufelslochgraben begins to flow down over rocks and stones in the form of numerous waterfalls. There is a small "parking lot" above the bridge.

Nice little climbing garden that you can take with you on a walk or hike in the area. Also for adult children.
