The Devils Rock Trail in Hennweiler takes its name from the "Devil's Rock", near which it starts. After a pleasant uphill and an entertaining traverse on trails to the starting point, there is a brilliant firework display of obstacles on the trail, which cleverly exploits the characteristics of the terrain. In the steeper initial section, things get a bit technical right from the start (S2, the Komoot rating of S3 is exaggerated), including a somewhat cheesy but fun short steep descent, rocky terrain steps and some roots. Later, the forest becomes a bit lighter and a whole battery of jumps follows - some with, some without gaps, so that beginners will also find what they are looking for here. Now that the terrain is noticeably flatter, the trail builders have built a crushed sand line in the forest: It sounds strange, but it works so brilliantly that this section may even have become our favorite part (although every section is simply brilliant!). The smooth crushed sand surface means you can roll along quickly and easily even on very flat terrain, and you can shoot over small and large jumps and push yourself through minimalist but perfectly shaped berms. We should also mention the beautiful skinny constructions that can be found all over the trail, which we had a lot of fun with. Overall, a real gem of a trail that, with its many different faces, not only makes perfect use of the terrain, but is guaranteed to have something to suit every taste! Great! 😊🤙
