    Hiking

    The Teufelsloch (Devil's Hole) near Oberwaiz is a wildly romantic nature reserve and geotope, particularly known for its gorge landscape and small waterfalls. Especially in winter, bizarre ice formations appear, constantly changing their appearance. The so-called Teufelslochgraben (Devil's Hole Gorge) is a ravine carved deep into the Rhaetian sandstone. The combination of sandstone cliffs, mosses, and ferns gives the area a primeval character.
