The Aftergraben is the smaller version of the Teufelsgraben, but just as beautiful and interesting

Starting point for a detour to the supposedly most beautiful part of the Teufelsloch nature reserve. At this bridge, the Teufelslochgraben begins to flow down over rocks and stones in the form of numerous waterfalls. There is a small "parking lot" above the bridge.

Nice little climbing garden that you can take with you on a walk or hike in the area. Also for adult children.

Very idyllically located in the middle of the forest. It is best to check opening times online at 95448 Eckersdorf.

Is there really a parking lot here? No 🅿️ sign, just ⚠️"Nature conservation area"⚠️

In the second half of the 19th century, the two-arched sandstone bridge was built, spanning the deep gorge and providing access from Oberwaiz to the Waldhütte restaurant.
