Hiking

Magnificent views, hidden rock formations, delicate waterfalls, and pristine nature – there's much to discover on this nearly seven-kilometer hike. It's worth taking a break every now and then to enjoy the little beauties along the way.

You start at the hiking car park at the Kreuzkopfschanze ski jump. To get your circulation going, you'll first climb a few kilometers. The gently spraying Griesbach Waterfalls, cascading over the boulders, will make the effort more enjoyable. They're also a welcome invitation to take a breather on the adventurous wooden steps. And the adventure continues: the path becomes increasingly narrow and wild. Moss-covered stone steps and wooden staircases lead you to the legendary Devil's Pulpit, where the devil himself is said to have once preached.

You've now mastered the challenging part of the tour, and you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view of the Rench Valley at Marienruhe. Afterwards, you'll hike gently downhill through the forest. Shortly before the end, another highlight awaits you: From the 16-meter-high Haberer Tower, you'll have a fantastic view of the deep green Rench Valley and Bad Griesbach – the perfect conclusion to your hike.

Griesbach Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

The small streams join together and trickle down the rock face. The background is picturesquely covered in moss. It is worth stopping for a moment and just listening to the sound of the water.

Haberer Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The climb up the 16-meter-high tower is worth it. From the top you have a fantastic panoramic view. The stairs are narrow and steep, so be careful.

The paths on this tour today were to our liking, mostly (narrow) forest paths. Rather short in length, but still quite challenging in places. Crunchy climb...but doable! Great views and rest areas, even if the only drinks fridge on the tour is currently not stocked due to forestry work.

From the parking lot at the summer ski jump you hike up to the Griesbach waterfall, which cascades over the boulders. The first climb has to be conquered on moss-covered stone steps along the waterfall. We continue uphill, past the Sexauer Hütte, then along adventurous paths and stairs, often with high steps, steeply up to the Teufelskanzel, a large and …

A short but beautiful tour which also runs large parts on roadways but continuously manages to inspire with the highlights and short, sometimes challenging path sections and so it doesn't get boring!

A special highlight is the well-designed recreation area with a great view.

Is it safe to walk again 👍🏻

Today we tackled the Teufelskanzelsteig in the best hiking weather. Good footwear is a must here! The railings on the Teufelskanzelsteig are sometimes quite wobbly and rotten. But later at Marienruh you are rewarded for your efforts. A beautiful view of the Black Forest mountain ranges and the view also extends to the Rhine plain. In wet and damp weather …

Finally hiking again 😊🥰☀️
Today at the Teufelskanzelsteig in Bad Griesbach.
Normally, routes with highlights such as waterfalls, towers or many paths with roots and stones are always sought, otherwise it will be difficult for the children 😉😋.
We had all that today. Well, the Griesbach waterfall is not big and had little water and the Haberer tower at the …

The Teufelssteig Trail has everything a hike entails. The trails lead through the beautiful Black Forest. The circular route takes us along beautiful root-covered paths, passing a waterfall and climbing steep stairs, including a ladder. You'll be rewarded with a magnificent view all the way down to the Reihn plain.
