Tips

Hiking

The Devil's Gorges wind picturesquely and wildly through the sandstone mountains, offering a perfect little adventure for people of all ages. With narrow paths and cave crossings, the trail is both challenging and fascinating. Appropriate preparation is therefore recommended for every visitor.

Simply a must, away from Uttewalder Grund.

Hiking

The descent into the gorge is scenic but not particularly complicated, with several steps. However, the gorge itself can become a bit narrow.
