Very nice viewpoint to the Teufelsbadstube with a small information sign The Teufelsbadstube is about 500 meters long, up to 75 meters wide and up to 25 meters deep. The gorge is partly surrounded by weathered sandstone rock formations. The Teufelsgraben stream that flows through the gorge rises about 400 meters east of the Teufelsbadstube and is additionally fed by the Stephansquelle near the Felsenkeller. After about two kilometers, the Teufelsgraben joins the Röstgraben and subsequently becomes the Eschergraben. A small waterfall has formed in the upper part of the gorge. The water falls about 2 meters down over a layer. The gorge is largely overgrown and difficult to access.

In the small but wildly romantic gorge, the Röthenbach flows over a length of around 300 meters, partly between heavily weathered sandstone rock formations up to five meters high. At the entrance to the gorge, close to the town of Röthenbach, the stream has created a small waterfall; The river drops three meters over two small steps. In the subsequent rock sections, impressive erosion, smaller caves and weathering can be found, and further along there are also remains of previous rock falls. The sandstone banks of the upper Keuper can be clearly seen on the impact slopes and other outcrops. In the wide Kerbsohlental below the gorge, the stream then meanders in wide arcs.
