Mountain hut & inn Teufelskanzel

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The inn is certainly not easy up here, but a rustic inn to my taste, so it can be expensive at times.
Especially because of regional cuisine 👌

Teufelskanzel

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is certainly one of the most beautiful vantage points in the area. In the foreground is the horseshoe-shaped Werra loop and behind it the Hessian mountains build up. On the right you can see Ludwigstein Castle, opposite is the Kaufunger Forest and on the left is the Hohe Meissner.

This Great Kamm Trail takes you over hill and dale. The old Gerzweg captivates with a beautiful view.

Unfortunately, the battery let me down just before the finish.

👋 Just a quick breath of fresh air. Despite the rain, fog and gloomy outlook. With a visit from GF. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶🏼‍♂️

Classic signposted circular route from Hanstein Castle to the Teufelskanzel and back. We saved ourselves from visiting the castle because we already know it. But of course it is also recommended 🙂

On Good Friday it was actually spring-like and lured people outside. We wanted to be somewhere else today and so we came up with the idea of hiking again in Eichsfeld from Hanstein to Teufelskanzel. It's been a few years since I was up there, but it's always a nice destination.

Welcome the New Year with a short hike to the Devil's Pulpit. Ate delicious waffles and enjoyed the way back as a torchlight hike. 😊
