Walk to the Devil's bowl on the Dreiländerweg in about 3/4 hour from the parking Oberschwarzenberg.

Impressive is the rock castle with the devil bowls. If you climb up, you will see bowl-like pits on the rock that are constantly filled with water. There are many interpretations of how these bowls could have come about. Scientists assume a natural weathering process. According to legend, the devils and witches met at full moon and made enchantments greyish kind. Until the Middle Ages, this imposing rock castle served the people as a gathering and cult place. A longer stay brings peace and relaxation. It is a pleasant place to stay and the strongest power place on the way of deceleration.

Opening times

Currently the trail to the Teufelsschüsseln is closed! Depending on snow conditions from about mid-May walkable.
