Teufelsmühle, Mountain summit in Loffenau, Germany.

The Teufelsmühle rises to 908.3 meters in the northern Black Forest, forming a natural border between the municipalities of Gernsbach and Loffenau.

Construction of the observation tower began in 1910 with an initial height of 10 meters, before being extended to 16.2 meters in 1952.

The name Teufelsmühle originates from local tales about scattered boulders, believed to be remnants of a mill constructed by the devil.

The mountain features a designated launch site at 850 meters elevation for hang gliders and paragliders, with a landing zone 550 meters below.

Natural erosion formations known as Teufelskammern, formed approximately 200 million years ago, served as temporary shelters for adventurous visitors.
