The Teufelstein, a former Roman quarry, gives its name to the Teufelstour in Olsbrücken.
The logo of 1.FC Kaiserslautern, the red devil, points the way.
I found the route itself extremely varied, especially the first 10 km. A constant change of meadow and forest with always beautiful views, some streams and gorges. In addition, a high proportion of paths or …

The tour is very well signposted. However, you do have to be careful in a few places, but thanks to Komoot, this is no problem. At this time of year, some of the paths are very muddy and difficult to walk due to forest work.
But for the most part, it is a great tour with some highlights...

This tour had been on my wish list for a very long time. Even the drive to Olsbrücken through the small villages of the Palatinate was beautiful. The motto of the tour "devilish climbs and heavenly views" describes the program very well. Devilish climbs as a sporting element and heavenly views as a tourist element - especially on the plateau …

The start today was in Hirschhorn, not far from Lautre. Hence the Teufelstour, the logo stands for devilish climbs and heavenly views. Unfortunately, a small detour to the Eulenkopfturm with the registry office could not be climbed. A very varied tour
