The path across Teufelsloch at Lusen is one of the most attractive ones.
The legendary Teufelsloch, a granite boulder area with an underground stream, can be reached via Martinsklause from Waldhäuser. According to the legend, the devil is responsible for the creation of the Lusen. One might still hear him at Teufelsloch. After visiting Teufelsloch, it is worthwhile to continue on the steep boulder steps, the so called Himmelsleiter, towards Lusen summit (1373 meters above sea level). This rout is considered one of the most attractive.
