The devil's path begins at the Naturfreundehaus in Niedersimten. We started running in Niedersimten and in between came to the Naturfreundehaus.

Teufelspfad Rock Formations

Highlight • Natural Monument

Haspelfels, Hühnerfels and Teufelsfels are places worth seeing and unusual. I like parts of the paths. Rock plus water is always a great combination.

Hühnerfels Rock Shelter and Waterfall

A great location with a nice new bench set.
If the weather permits, even with a waterfall directly from the rock above your head :-)

A beautiful and idyllic fountain on the Teufelspfad, not far from the Teufelsfels. I have never seen this fountain without water.

A highly recommended short premium trail with very beautiful sections. It has a somewhat jungle feel, passing impressive rock formations such as the Teufelsfelsen, Hühnerfels, and Haspelfels, some of which have a cave-like feel due to the overhanging rocks. Hanging ivy vines and small, trickling waterfalls line the path with its mossy rock faces. I also particularly enjoyed the peace …

Today I showed friends from the Leininger Land the Teufelspfad premium hiking trail here in Pirmasens. It was their first tour in the Pirmasens area.
A perfect day with ideal conditions.
It's great that it worked out together!

I discovered the tip for this premium hiking trail a few years ago at the CMT.

How nice that we were now able to make it happen and go there.

By the way, there are two other premium hiking trails around Pirmasens - the "Hexenklamm" tour is currently closed, however.

The @Premiumwanderweg Teufelspfad is highly recommended. Great rock formations, caves and water gurgling and dripping everywhere. Despite the sunshine and wonderful autumn weather, we were alone in the beautiful nature most of the time.

Just round with a cool cave at Teufelsfelsen. A large crowd is to be expected along the route.

Very impressive tour. Some beautiful waterfalls after weeks of rain. You should be a little sure-footed.

Haspelfels, Hühnerfels and Teufelsfels are places worth seeing and unusual. I like parts of the paths. Rock plus water is always a great combination. I particularly liked the "shower" at Teufelsfelsen.

Parts of the path also lead over gravel farm tracks and in some places trees and hedges are already growing into the paths.
Mmmh? Premium? Am I too spoiled? …
