Rocks and rock labyrinths can be found in abundance in the Müllerthal region.

Head down is the order of the day 😂 Gorges are narrow in places but all easily passable. When wet, you have to be a bit careful and there can also be water in the gorge. But all very worth seeing. The Felsenweg 6 is highly recommended 😉

Very narrow gorges and great rocks, you should always wear sturdy shoes. In bad weather, there is also a lot of water in the gorge. But still passable 😉

A very narrow rocky passage where you can hide well. Don't be afraid of the dark.

A good tip for other komoot users might be to visit this highlight early in the morning or later in the afternoon, when it's quieter and the light is better for photos. https://www.servicechannel.com.co

Steep steps lead down to the Devil's Gorge! The descent is well worth it! Hiking into the gorge is simply breathtaking!
