October 11, 2025, Teufelsmühle Summit (908 m)

At the summit, there's no view at all in the middle of the forest. Not particularly worth seeing. The great view is from the restaurant a little further west.

The four of us had an absolutely fantastic meal there. Both the fish and meat dishes were cooked to perfection. The starters and desserts were also very tasty. All Demeter-certified. It's not exactly cheap, but it was incredibly good.

You can't get any closer to the Eyach. Many access points lead directly into the water, offering a refreshing dip for several kilometers in the summer.

Now in midsummer, the stream has completely dried up. Nevertheless, the small bridge over the Mannenbach is beautiful to look at and a highlight of the trail.

Comfortable path, which is also wide enough for 2 people to walk side by side

The tree house hangs at a height of 3 meters and can swing gently back and forth. This is also the case when you climb the ladder. There is a sliding hatch above the ladder, which can be opened with an access code. The access code will be sent the day before arrival. https://baumhaustechnik.de/i/bad-herrenalb-talwiese
