    Hiking

    Two staircases carved into the stone lead up to the Devil's Stone in the north of Hohenstein Castle's rock garden. They are still well preserved, as are the abutments of the wooden bridge that once connected the stairs. A wooden hut once stood here. The wooden structures have long since disappeared, but the stone remains of that era have survived to this day.

    The Teufelsstein is located well north of the other formations.
    Around 1815 it was equipped with a hut that could be reached via two stone stairs and a wooden bridge in between.
    The wooden structures are no longer there.
    Stone staircases and bridge abutments, on the other hand, are still in good condition.
