Exciting way and fantastic views!
Surefootedness and suitable footwear are essential.

The road between Engelsley (north) and (south) is neglected and difficult.
From Engelsley (south) it is practically no longer available or walkable!

Engelsloch (Engelsley)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The dwarf or angel hole at Engelsley is significantly smaller and more difficult to reach than the devil's hole.

Only for experienced people with the appropriate footwear, scrambling up to UIAA 2-, a head for heights is a must.

Nice warm and mostly solid rock. Unfortunately, the climbing fun is always over so quickly...so I just went several times:

2x Teufelslochgrat

2x Teufelsleygrat

1x Engelsleygrat

Visited Hornberg & Schrock (why do I... leave my rubbish lying around?)

Waded through the Ahr, welcome cooling

It was a lovely afternoon of hiking in great weather.
