Königstein (Devil's Wall)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Be sure to visit! Bizarre sandstone formation formed 85 million years ago. From the car park, a comfortable sandy path with steps leads to a viewing platform from which you have a wonderful view of the Harz foothills and as far as Quedlinburg. The path can be extended to a circular path or you can continue hiking the Teufelsmauersteig.

From here, you have a beautiful view of Weddersleben and the opposite Mittelsteine of the Teufelsteig trail. A well-maintained staircase leads up or down. On the slope, you can observe sheep and goats grazing.

June 4, 2022,[Harz] Entlang der Teufelsmauer durch das Harzer Vorland
An adventure trip to the Harz Mountains.
Actually, it was supposed to go to Rome for me and Joha over the long weekend. I saw us sitting by the Tiber at sunset and drinking Aperol. Then the airline threw a spanner in the works and canceled our flights. Good advice was expensive now, so we quickly decided on Quedlinburg, with …

Only at the beginning is there a nice stretch along the Devil's Wall. The majority of it is not really attractive.

Nancy, Kalle 🐶 and I on our next hike together 🥾 and immediately a dramatic lighting atmosphere on Königstein... we could hardly tear ourselves away.
We continued towards Warnstedter Mühle, which had been on my personal list for a long time. A great old building and very, …

A very nice hike. At the beginning, unfortunately, bike path with asphalt. Some beautiful paths from the Hamburg coat of arms. Imposing rocks of the Teufelsmauer. The 👑 king stones in particular are very impressive.

Komooter PatrickDD gave the hiking tip, thanks for that, it was worth it! 👍
So the great evening mountain theater event with rock star Suzi Quadro 🤘🔊🔊🔊🤘 was enriched by the second part of the Devil's Wall hike.
Starting again from the parking lot 🅿️ Timmenrode, but this time heading south, we headed towards Neinstedt along beautiful paths with great …

Oops 🤭
The round has become longer than we actually wanted. 🙈
However, every kilometer was worth it and little Fufu was allowed to travel the last 8 km relaxed in a backpack. 😁
Along the Teufelsmauer in Weddersleben, highly recommended, the Hamburg coat of arms - the ideal place for a break.
The way back was via beautiful, narrow …
