From here, you have a beautiful view of Weddersleben and the opposite Mittelsteine of the Teufelsteig trail. A well-maintained staircase leads up or down. On the slope, you can observe sheep and goats grazing.

It is definitely worth taking a look from below at the Königstein in the wall.
Particularly suitable for short tours.

October 10, 2022,HZ 05/2022: Abstecher zur Teufelsmauer bei Weddersleben
On the way back from Blankenburg we stopped again in Weddersleben to visit the most striking part of the Teufelsmauer.

This one is really impressive here and I wonder how much longer it will stay like this.

This HWN stamping point is the easiest for me, the box is not 200m from the parking lot. Since we wanted to see more of the Teufelsmauer we did the offered circular route, I can only recommend it, it is also suitable for children. Had taken a great photo from the north side, I think pictures 17 and 18 are …

A wonderful conclusion after the day with the narrow-gauge railway on the Brocken⛰.

Made a short detour on the way back from Quedlinburg. Perfectly timed in the evening sun. Fascinating structure. You feel like you are in a mystical film.

No, he wasn't there. His house was also somehow demolished. There was only a single wall around (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teufelsmauer_(Harz)). The place itself wasn't really scary either, but rather fantastically beautiful. Especially in the evening mood when we were there. An interesting rock formation which can be hiked around very well. The parking lot is close and free and if your feet …

Actually we were in Steckenberg/Lauenburg at the "Hexenbaum" today - but even though we've been here several times before - the Teufelsmauer has a special attraction when the poppies bloom 😍

A short walk around an impressive rock formation, the Devil's Wall.
Always worth a visit.
A lovely children's playground has been created around the nearby café.
