    Tips

    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.

      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.

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