The children’s hiking trail is marked with the “Teufelino” sign. The “Himmelweg” is stroller-friendly and accessible to wheelchair users. The “Höllenweg” features many roots, uneven paths, and a wooden plank bridge, so this section is not suitable for strollers, but it’s a highlight for all children.
