Trail description

A 3 km climb from Loffenau up the zigzag path to the Teufelsmühle (908 m) in the northern Black Forest, whose name comes not from a real mill but from a folk explanation of its ice-age boulder fields. On the summit plateau stand a lookout tower, built in 1910 and raised to 16 m in 1952, the hikers' hostel and a mountain inn; the paragliders' landing field lies 550 m lower at Loffenau.
