Hiking

The Teufelsgrund (Devil's Ground) is a gorge in Saxon Switzerland, or rather the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, located in the municipality of Lohmen, north of the town of Wehlen. It is named after the neighboring Teufelskammer (Devil's Chamber) and includes the Teufelskammer (Devil's Gorges), the Teufelsschlüchte (Devil's Gorges), and the walkable Heringshöhle (Hering's Cave). The Teufelsgrund (Devil's Ground) rarely has flowing water and no named body of water. "Grund" refers to such narrow valleys in Saxon Switzerland, regardless of whether they currently contain flowing water or not. See: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teufelsgrund_(Lohmen,_S%C3%A4chsische_Schweiz)

Hiking

A hike through the Devil's Gorges is always recommended. They wind through the sandstone mountains and sometimes - as here - you have to climb narrow ladders and stairs to cross the gorges. Sturdy shoes are a must.
