The Devon Trail is a certified premium hiking trail. Rugged cliffs and deeply carved river valleys await you in the Delux Nature Hiking Park. The geology here is particularly favourable for this landscape, as the river Prüf has cut deep into the landscape over millions of years, carving it into many different facets.
There are also marvellous panoramic views to enjoy while standing on the Marian column on the Aichelberg. Finally, the unspoilt Dierbach Valley is an absolute idyll. Here, narrow paths exude a pure sense of adventure.
