    Great free parking lot with direct access to the Teufelsmauerstieg (The Teufelsmaurstieg runs between the Gegensteinen/Ballenstedt and Blankenburg). Be there early, especially on public holidays and weekends and when the weather is nice.

    Edit: The parking lot is now also chargeable

      Worthwhile view! Both from bottom to top and from top to bottom.
      Here is the stamp box of the Harzer hiking pin at the rest area before the ascent.

        A free hiking car park very close to the ascent to the Teufelsmauer. The parking lot is located on the Bode.

          The Teufelsmauer near Weddersleben has been a nature reserve since 1935.
          It is a rock formation of 20 km in total. The part at Weddersleben is about 2 km away.

              Well, the goal itself is unspectacular. The nearby Teufelsmauer section is all the more so.

                There are several legends about the devil's wall.
                Here is one of them.


                In ancient times, when God and the devil divided the earth between them, it was agreed between the two that the devil should own all the land that he could build a wall in one night until the first cock crow. On the night when the devil began his construction, however, an old woman was out who wanted to sell a rooster in the market. She stumbled in the dark, and the rooster started to crow. The devil heard this and thought that his time was up and tore down the devil's wall again out of sheer anger. The remains have remained to this day.

                  If you don't want to go that high, you can also look at the Teufelmauer from below. She is incredibly impressive. From the rest area, where the HWN stamp box is located, you have a great view of the Teufelsmauer.

                    There is a coffee house nearby with delicious soft ice cream. A pleasure!

                      Beautiful rock formations, great scenery, just breathtaking. We'll be back again! At least ;)

                        A great and recommendable tour. The weather played along (despite the storm 🌬) but very interesting

                          Danger! There's a parking machine here! The parking lot is controlled. 🙄

                              The stamp box is still in front of the devil's wall.

                                          The round is a good 6 km. Parking nearby is free.
