When the stream carries a lot of water, a beautiful waterfall forms.

Geotope Teufelsbadstube / TeufelsgrabenThe Teufelsbadstube is around 500 meters long, up to 75 meters wide and up to 25 meters deep. The gorge is partly surrounded by weathered sandstone rock formations. The Teufelsgraben stream that flows through the gorge rises about 400 meters east of the Teufelsbadstube and is also fed by the Stephansquelle near the Felsenkeller. After about two kilometers the Teufelsgraben joins the Röstgraben and then becomes the Eschergraben.
A small waterfall has emerged in the upper part of the gorge. The water falls here over a stratum about 2 meters deep.The area is designated as geotope 572R001 by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment.tourism
The Teufelsbad step is a local tourist destination and is freely accessible all year round. Numerous hiking trails lead to this place, where there is also a beer cellar that is served in the summer months.
