very nice spot in the middle of the forest, but you should know your way around to avoid going in the wrong direction

The bridge sways slightly but is still easy to walk on. In the middle, there are benches on each side.

Very interesting paths with rocks. Rather strenuous. Remains relatively cool and shady in summer. At peak times, the smallest path through the Devil's Gorge is quite busy. At off-peak times, I often have the trails to myself.

After the old bridge was washed away in a storm in 2021, this amazing suspension bridge was built. Walking across it is an experience; it swings and makes you feel like you're on the high seas 😂. There are two benches at the highest point for resting, but I'm not sure if that's good for you 🤢?

The bridge connects Germany and Luxembourg. It was named after Konrad Schubach. In 1952, Konrad Schubach became district administrator in Bitburg. There, in consultation with Minister-President Altmeier, he was tasked with establishing good relations with Luxembourg and the French occupiers. During this period, the German-Luxembourg Nature Park was created. After ten years, he served again as district administrator in Trier for two years before being appointed President of the Trier administrative district in 1964.

Unfortunately, one can no longer call it a waterfall; perhaps the name "Irrel Canyon" would be more appropriate? But regardless, it's a beautiful piece of nature, and nature is constantly changing. The damaged old wooden bridge has since been replaced by a suspension bridge.
