    The summit of the Teufelsley is "only" 319 meters above sea level, but here you have a great all-round view.
    However, the path is not entirely without ... Sturdy shoes and surefootedness are a must!

    Meanwhile there is also a new beautiful wooden cross.

      The rock formations are quite steep and sometimes dangerous. Sturdy shoes are essential. Once you reach the top you will be rewarded with a wonderful view.

        The Teufelsley (T4, partly T5) & Engelsley (T5) are tightrope walks. The flooring is mainly rock; also larger boulders. Both have a good grip (but sometimes have sharp edges), provided it is dry. At the Engelsley, the scree is a little smaller/loose and thus the sure-footedness decreases! Since these are difficult mountain/alpine trails (>T4), there are no safety devices (climbers usually secure themselves).

        -> For this reason, clear advice on my part: Grds ONLY to do when the ground is dry (i.e. no rain the day before) and/or when there are not too many leaves on the rock (autumn).

        The direction is also important:

        The ridges are naturally narrow and especially on the Engelsley, there are no alternatives to/from the summit. Unfortunately, I followed the planned tour without prior checking and was lucky. On the Teufelsey, the other 3 people also went in the same direction; I was alone on the Engelsley and can therefore not judge it.

        -> Grds I advise: from south to north

        Teufelsley:

        If you have a head for heights, this tightrope walk should not be a problem. As stated, no safety devices and flooring is rock; Hiking poles are therefore rather useless.

        -> Komoot warning:

        Parts of your route may be dangerous

        The route may contain technical, challenging or hazardous terrain. This may require special equipment and prior knowledge.
