The Teufelsmauerweg takes you past the 1st European dog moor bathing pond, where the moor water flows over a wooden channel filling the bathing pond, which is divided into swimmer and non-swimmer sections, and due to its peaceful atmosphere, it is a popular excursion spot for dogs and their owners.
