A very nice climb that requires surefootedness through the Somsdorfer Klamm.
If you can listen well upstairs you can hear the noise of the Weißeritz ...

Hike with Maik⛰️🌲🏃

Hiking

In 1894, local friends opened up the path to the Devil's Pulpit (282.6m) with steps and footbridges. The path, partly secured with metal chains, leads past the Teufelskuppe and offers beautiful views of Freital. Sure-footedness is required, especially in autumn and winter.
