Teufelsstieg Trail

Highlight • Trail

Nice way, but you should be free from giddiness. The path is quite narrow and sometimes steep over roots and without railings.

Viewpoint on the Teufelsstieg

Highlight • Viewpoint

A few meters off the trail lies a small rocky peak, accessible via a short, narrow ridge. It drops steeply on three sides. Alpine feeling in miniature!

August 26, 2021,Runde im Kuckanstal - Teufelsstieg – Phillippsgruß Reinhardsbrunnen Runde von Bad Sachsa

Wonderful round with many small, partly steep paths. From Bad Sachsa we are via the bird of prey station (3 p.m. demonstration) to the Phillipshütte with a wonderful view. Then down to the Teufelssteig, where the witch flew high above our heads. Weoter went to the Reinhard spring with wonderfully fresh spring water and great conversation with a 90-year-old local …

A varied short trail. Ideal in warm temperatures, as was the case on our hike. Red volcanic rock, streams, springs, a lake. And consistently great views. Mostly interesting climbs. The short section of the Teufelsstieg is particularly beautiful.
