I've been wanting to go through the Devil's Hole👹 again for a long time and since the weather🌞🌧 is good for short hikes, I went there. It's still a very beautiful place🍀🌲🌳🌿 that offers great exploration tours, especially for kids. Because of all the rain, it's very slippery and muddy. I thought it was great🥰. If you have good shoes🥾, …

Today was a free day, so we could use Sunday for hiking. We went to the Devil's Hole in Franconian Switzerland, not far from Bayreuth.

We discovered this gorge by chance while hiking the Jean-Paul Trail, which runs through it. You're almost tempted to imagine yourself in a prehistoric world (if you have a penchant for that sort of thing) …

The Teufelsloch - a wild gorge in a place you wouldn't expect to find it! We stumbled upon it by chance last year when we were hiking the Jean-Paul-Weg trail, which leads through this gorge. But I already explained that on the March tour.

A fabulous 21 hikers were the group from FGV Oberkotzau today, who set off northwest of Bayreuth to explore the Teufelsloch! And this despite the rather high outside temperatures! But since the path led predominantly through the forest, it was still quite manageable!
