The name comes from a legend according to which the devil was tricked by local residents into sliding down this steep, thorn-covered slope on his bare bottom. He was never seen there again after that.

Hiking

The Teufelsrutsch is a wooded area of fields that drops steeply in one direction. The view from the top is truly magnificent. Following the small path, you'll reach the Schinderhannes Cave. The Schweizer Haus stands at the summit of the Teufelsrutsch rock.

Hiking

To reach the summit of the "Teufelsrutsch" mountain, you can ascend (or descend) a small path from the valley. It is steep but beautiful – almost alpine in character.
