Devil's Gorge, Natural valley formation in Eifel region, Germany
The Devil's Gorge contains narrow passages between towering rock walls, reaching depths of 28 meters through sandstone formations dating from the Jurassic period.
The gorge developed approximately 12,000 years ago during the last ice age, when frost and thaw cycles caused substantial rock falls on the plateau edge.
Local residents named this geological formation Devil's Gorge as they believed such an unusual structure could only be created through supernatural intervention.
Three circular hiking trails ranging from 2 to 6 kilometers guide visitors through the gorge system and surrounding rocky landscape.
This sandstone gorge displays an unusual formation where both entrance points stand higher than the central section, differing from typical water-eroded valleys.
