In the Somsdorfer Gorge you will find almost untouched nature. The hiking trail in the lonely, shady gorge leads over stairs and, in exposed places on the rock face, over wooden walkways that are sometimes more or less well secured. Caution is advised when it is wet.

More experienced climbers can go further to the Teufelskanzel, from here you have a view into the depths of the Rabenauer Grund.

Hiking

I have been to the Teufelskanzel many times. The most strenuous part is the rock steps from the gorge up to the entrance. But you have to take the stairs …

Hiking

Hiking in Rabenauer Grund ... Real? Yes, of course. Anyone who has not climbed the Teufelskanzel on the chain does not know the whole Rabenauer reason. The built-in after-flood fences are indeed better to commit than the old, but they had something balncieren on damp wood.
