It was a very nice tour. It didn't look strenuous at first, but the elevation was tough. But the view from the Devil's Tower made up for it. 🤣

May 14, 2023,Teufelskammerfelsen – Hahnenfalz-Hütte Runde von Skiheim Talwiese

Only follow me at the Teufelskammerfelsen if you can handle slippery steep slopes and hold on very well. Otherwise follow the normal route.
Overall really nice, but a bit demanding.
I took my time this time. If you take less photos, you can do it in about 3.5 hours.

April 26, 2025,1️⃣5️⃣ - Wanderung zur Teufelsmühle und den Teufelskammern 😈

A reunion tour with hiking friends in Baden-Württemberg. In relatively cool temperatures and a fair amount of wind, the short hike took us to the Teufelsmühle (908 m above sea level), the local mountain of Loffenau, in the northern Black Forest. Near the observation tower is a mountain restaurant where we also tried Black Forest gateau – drenched in plenty …

The way there is relatively steep in places, but the way back is relaxing.
The time given is just walking time.

April 17, 2026,20260417 Schwarzwald: Gaistal Talwiese - Teufelskammern Sandsteinhöhlen - Teufelsmühle

We took the bus to the Talwiese meadow in the Gaistal valley. From there we started our tour, which we really enjoyed. Varied through forests and meadows, many beautiful paths and great views. The rocks of the Teufelskammern impressed us greatly. The Gasthaus Teufelsmühle is unfortunately only open on weekends, but we had a nice rest at the Teufelsflieger starting …

December 18, 2024,Teufelskammer – Höhengasthaus Teufelsmühle Runde von Talwiese/Bad Herrenalb

An exciting tour for connoisseurs. The Devil's Chambers are a particular highlight.
But be careful when entering. Very good footwear is necessary. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are required. Some hiking trails are very rocky; especially between the Teufelsmühle mountain inn and the Hahnenfalzhütte. A good portion of the trails have been designated "Connoisseur Trails" by the Black Forest …

September 7, 2024,Teufels-Tour bei Bad Herrenalb

Very nice tour, based on a Komoot tour, but occasionally modified. Sure-footedness required. The climb at the beginning of the tour is tough, but you are rewarded with sights and great views along the whole route. Thank you Larissa and Pascal for the idea, the planning and the great picnic 🥰🍇🍷🧀
