Teufelsmauer Kammweg

The Devil's Wall in the Harz is one of the most spectacular rock towers in the Harz. The 20 kilometer long sandstone wall with its striking individual rocks is not even in the heart of the Harz Mountains, but in the Harz foreland. The bizarre rock formations were created by erosion and the removal of softer rock layers and are up to 20 meters high. On an exploration tour along the Kammweg you can swing over high steps, squeeze through narrow gorges and hold on to iron railings here and there - of course not without stopping in between to enjoy the grotesque rocks towering in front of us and the great views. With the Hamburg coat of arms, three prominently protruding rocks, the Harz even with a little imagination is reminiscent of the Three Peaks of the Dolomites.

Hiking sticks are useful. Surefootedness and a head for heights are required on the hike.

An adventure and a true eye-opener.
I think this is the next location for Lord of the Rings 🤭😎

One of the most beautiful hiking trails in the Harz, with about 30 km, the tour is recommended to be made relaxed in 2 days.

Teufelsmauer always works, proper shoes and a backpack full of niceties, so you can spend a whole day here.

Nice but challenging way Fixed shoe tow is a must!
Very scenic with a wide view of Blankenburg and the surrounding area

After the climb, the north or south slope trail can be conveniently used as a return trail. You can admire the climbing rocks again from below

Those who do not dare to go upstairs have the option of negotiating the route below.

The crossing of the Teufelsmauer is for experienced mountain lovers an experience and a pleasure hike up to the Hamburg gate. I do not recommend hikers who are suitable for hiking to use the path at the foot of the Teufelsmauer.

The views to the right and left of the 😈 Wall are impressive 👍

It's a great way on the devil's wall

If you are good on foot, then definitely choose the Kammweg. Great views.

No matter from which side you want to hike the Teufelsmauer ridge path, whether from the Hamburg Coat of Arms or from the Grandfather Rock, it is always a great enjoyable hike. You don't have to have a head for heights. We definitely recommend the hike along the Kammweg, which is a ridge path. Comparable to the Schrammstein Gratweg or the Rauenstein in Saxon Switzerland, just not as high. However just as beautiful. The Teufelsmauer is a small sandstone hiking area on the edge of the granite world of the Harz Mountains.

Surefootedness should be available

Be sure to hike with children on the ridge path between the Hamburg coat of arms and grandfather rock. But be careful! Always take care of the children when climbing!

A Superwanderweg however cumbersome. Not suitable for children under 8 to 10 years. Solid shoes are a must.

A very beautiful and natural way. However, you should be sure-footed and free from giddiness, then you can really enjoy the wonderful view.

The path over the Teufelsmauer is a pleasure hike for sure-footed and high-altitude hikers.

For me the absolute highlight on the Teufelsmauer Weg.
Sturdy shoes are a must, you should also be sure-footed and in some places also free from giddiness. The effort is totally worth it

Entertaining, exciting and with great prospects packed tour over the Teufelsmauer up to the Hamburg gate. In itself the way over the Teufelsmauer is straightforward. However, sure-footedness is required. For hikers with vertigo there are a few spots for tingling in the stomach. Bergerfahrene children have fun on the tour.

Great hiking trail over various stone formations

Sure-footedness and no shame to use your hands for safety when hiking are required. It's great fun to walk there.

The Teufelsmauer in the district of Harz in Saxony-Anhalt is a rock formation made of hard sandstones of the upper chalk in the northern Harz foothills, which runs for about 20 km from Ballenstedt via Rieder and Weddersleben to Blankenburg (Harz). Numerous outstanding individual rocks have proper names. The Devil's Wall at Weddersleben is also called Eagle Cliffs.

Many legends and myths have been formed to explain the peculiarity of this place. It was therefore put under protection by the district administrator in 1833 and 1852 in order to prevent the coveted sandstone from being mined. The Teufelsmauer near Weddersleben has been designated as a Teufelsmauer and Bode nature reserve northeast of Thale since 1935, making it one of the oldest nature reserves in Germany.

The north edge of the Harz Mountains with the Devil's Wall was included in the list of 77 excellent national geotopes in 2006 👹🤠

A very beautiful and natural way. However, you should be sure-footed and free from giddiness, then you can really enjoy the wonderful view.

Take time and enjoy
