Description Destination
A look at the map reveals why this hiking route in the Eifel is called the "Devilish Eight": Its route resembles a figure eight and its namesake, the Devil's Gorge, is also the first highlight of the tour. From now on the path leads through a fascinating rocky world. Narrow paths lead past mighty rock towers and wildly scattered blocks full of crevices, cracks and mysterious weathering.
They stand there majestically, as if they had never done anything else: the huge rocks of the Devil's Gorge. But they tell a dramatic story. Towards the end of the last ice age – about 12,000 years ago – the alternation of frost and thaw periods led to massive rockfalls on the edge of the Ferschweiler Plateau. There must have been a huge crash when a large sandstone block tipped out from the plateau wall and opened the deep, narrow crevice that we can walk through today: the Devil's Gorge.
The path of the Devilish Eight is like an adventure, a journey into a time long past. The rocks tell this story in their own way. They tower high into the sky and invite you to look up and be touched by their grandeur or to discover them by climbing, as children love to do.
On the way into the valley you will at some point hear the rushing of water: the rapids of the Prüm, known as the "Irrel Waterfalls", were formed at the end of the last ice age by rockfalls that created a natural dam. From the waterfalls, the route leads along the Hälbach up to the edge of the plateau and again through adventurous rock panoramas. In the old millstone quarries at the characteristic rock gate, the circular marks of the chisels are clearly visible, testifying to the work of the stonemasons. From here we pass the VIA point back to the high plateau and back to the nature park center.
