Teufelsturm, Rock formation in Bad Schandau, Germany.
The Teufelsturm sandstone formation rises from the landscape of Saxon Switzerland National Park, featuring distinct geological patterns and natural weathering effects.
Since the early 1900s, this rock formation has been a central location for developing traditional German climbing techniques and establishing mountain sports practices.
The formation's name, which translates to Devil's Tower, reflects local German folklore and continues to influence regional climbing traditions.
Climbers can access multiple routes of varying difficulties throughout the year, with dedicated parking areas available near the base of the formation.
The sandstone structure contains over 50 documented climbing paths, each following strict Saxon climbing rules that prohibit the use of metal protection devices.
