The Teufelsmauer, a rock ridge made of hard sandstone, stretches along the northern edge of the Harz from Blankenburg to Ballenstedt. Numerous legends and myths surround the steep cliffs with peculiar names, as in many places in the Harz. Along the way, wide panoramas open up to the hiker, which seem like a window into the eventful history of this region. Castles, palaces, and monasteries still bear witness to it today. On the Harz Teufelsmauerstieg, hikers encounter bizarre natural beauty and a very old, still living cultural landscape.
Special notes, tips:
Michaelstein Monastery in Blankenburg, Wendhusen Monastery in Thale, Weddersleben paper mill, castle ensemble in Ballenstedt, and much more.
