Nonnenfelsen (Schwarzwasser Valley)

Highlight • Climb

This imposing rock face rises dozens of meters high right next to the Black Pockau stream. The well-developed hiking trail leads over a small bridge from which you have a beautiful view of the Nonnenfelsen.

Nonnenfelsen Climbing Crag

Highlight • Climb

This imposing rock face rises up from Dierek on the edge of the path. When the weather is nice, there are often climbers on the wall. So don't be surprised if there are shoes on the way, just look up.

Devil's Wall in the Schwarzwasser Valley

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Devil's Wall is one of the most striking and impressive rock formations in the Upper Schwarzwasser Valley of the Ore Mountains, located in the Schwarzwassertal Nature Reserve south of Pobershau in Saxony. It is a popular destination for hikers and nature photographers.
Geology and Formation
The Devil's Wall is an excellent example of the geological composition of the Ore Mountains. It consists primarily of gneiss and migmatitic gneiss, formed millions of years ago by tectonic processes and metamorphism. The distinctive shape of the Devil's Wall is the result of erosion by the Schwarze Pockau River, which cut deep into the rock over long periods of time, thus exposing this steep, wall-like rock face. The varying weathering resistance of the rock layers also contributes to the rugged structure.
Characteristics and Appearance
The Devil's Wall presents itself as a long, steeply rising rock face that stretches along the river. Its name probably derives from its imposing, sometimes almost threatening appearance, reminiscent of a wall erected by supernatural forces. It is covered in mosses and lichens, giving it a mysterious atmosphere, especially in damp or foggy weather.
Significance and Accessibility
The Devil's Wall is not only a geological highlight, but also an important element of the natural beauty of the Schwarzwassertal Valley. It is a frequent subject in landscape photography in the region.
Hikers can reach the Devil's Wall via various well-marked hiking trails in the Schwarzwassertal Nature Reserve. It is often visited as part of a longer tour through the valley, which also includes other rock formations such as the Nonnenfelsen (Nunn's Rock), the Vogeltoffelfelsen (Vogeltoffel Rock), and the Grüner Graben (Green Ditch). The path along the river continually offers new perspectives on this imposing rock face.
Access to the rock formations themselves may be restricted for nature conservation and safety reasons, but the view from the hiking trail is always impressive. The Devil's Wall is a must-see for anyone who wants to experience the wild and pristine nature of the Ore Mountains.
