    Teufelino Hiking Trail for Kids – On this hiking trail in Schellerhau, hiking becomes an adventure for the whole family. Along the exciting “Heaven and Hell Trail,” young hikers accompany the character “Teufelino” on a journey of discovery through nature. With a stamp card, fun activities, and numerous interactive stations, time flies by. The route follows the Rote Weißeritz River to the Schellerhau Botanical Garden and up to the Stephanshöhe—one of the “14 eight-thousanders in the Eastern Ore Mountains.” An ideal family experience full of activity, nature, and stories.

    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.

    Tips and suggestions

    The Heaven route is suitable for strollers. On the Hell route, many roots cross the path, so we advise against it here.

    Roadbook

    Start at the “Heimatstuben” – the “Teufel und Semmelmilda” pavilion in the center of Schellerhau – and follow the signs for the children’s hiking trail toward the spa park. That’s where the first section of the children’s hiking trail, the Höllenweg, begins. Cross Matthäusweg and follow Mühlenweg. At the next intersection, keep left toward the Weißeritz Bridge. Turn right and walk along the Weißeritz River until you reach the “Gute-Laune-Brücke.” Cross the bridge and then continue straight ahead until you reach the main street (Oberer Gasthof). Then turn right and immediately left again toward the Botanical Garden. This is where the second part of the trail begins—the Himmelsweg. Follow the signs toward Julius-Schmidt-Steig, the 14th eight-thousander peak Stephanshöhe (Steinmeer), cross the Rotterhang (ski slope), and follow the narrow path to Neu-Schellerhau. Then continue to the right toward the main street. Once there, walk back along the main street to the Heimatstube.
