    The Devil's Chamber is a fascinating, narrow rocky valley in the Teufelsgrund (Devil's Gorge) in Saxon Switzerland, north of the town of Wehlen. A hike through the area, with its Devil's Gorges and the Heringshöhle (Hering Cave), is an adventurous experience, but requires sturdy footwear and a certain degree of surefootedness, as you'll sometimes have to walk bent over and climb narrow ladders and stairs.

      It is advisable to wear proper hiking boots and clothes that can get dirty (depending on the (previous) weather conditions). With a hiking backpack or a backpack carrier it will be quite tight in some places, but somehow you will find a way.
