We started in Hollfeld along the Wiesent to Neidenstein. Via a short forest to Freienfels to the newly renovated Freienfels Castle (private property). However, the renovation is not yet completely finished. On to the devil's hole. After a slight climb to the rock village of Krögelstein. This village in the middle of the rocks is very impressive.

May 12, 2023,Wanderung 12.05.23 Felsendorf Krögelstein – Kaiserbachtal-Freienfels Runde von Loch🙋‍♂️🥾⛅😊

Made a nice tour today in good hiking weather. Start and finish was a hole. The first 3.5 km almost to Krögelstein were rather boring and the wide forest roads were in very bad condition. We really liked the rock village of Krögelstein and from here the paths were fine again. Overall, a varied round that was fun.

In beautiful weather we went into the beautiful Kainach and Kaiserbach valleys, past bizarre rocks that we could admire along the way. On to the Teufelsloch near Freienfels. It is called Teufellöcher, but unfortunately we only found one. Last year we didn't find any at all, we passed by from a different direction. The path to the Teufelsloch was blocked …
