Devil's Canyon Hike

A natural monument of extraordinary fascination: a narrow gorge with metre-high rock faces, cool and dark. Cracks and crevices, weathered and overgrown with mosses and lichens. Anyone walking through this eye of a needle in the sandstone is walking through a 200-million-year-old seabed that harbors many secrets.

Hiking routes A tour through the Devil's Gorge is a must for every hiker in the Felsenland and a nature experience you will never forget. The 17-kilometre-long premium hiking trail "Felsenweg 6" of the NaturWanderPark delux is named after the Devil's Gorge. Three other marked circular hiking trails between 2 and 6 kilometres in length lead through the gorge and up and down narrow paths through the rocks: the Small and Large Rundweg Teufelsschlucht and the Teuflische Acht. This fantastically beautiful hiking route connects the Devil's Gorge with the Irreer Wasserfälle, the rapids of the Prüm, which have been crossed by a suspension bridge since September 2023.

In the Naturparkzentrum Teufelsschlucht, an exhibition provides information about the formation and special features of the fascinating rocky landscape. The "Teufels Küche" bistro invites you to take a break on the sun terrace. Numerous environmental education and nature experience offers for children and adults can be booked at the nature park centre.

Tip for families: The Dinosaurierpark Teufelsschlucht is located in the immediate vicinity - a must for anyone interested in the history of the earth and the origin of life!
