The mighty stone Devil's Table, the landmark of the Dahner Rocklands, is surrounded by a mysterious legend.

One night the devil went for a walk here. Very tired and hungry, he was looking for a rest stop. With glowing eyes he scoured the entire Palatinate Forest. Nowhere could he find a job that lived up to his claim. Full of rage and anger, he grabbed three huge boulders and set them to a table. After he had dined there, he left again. He left the table behind.

When the first rays of the sun drove the night, people saw the work. Many were sure, "Here must the devil have fed!" Only one was brave and incredulous. "That can not be, then I will eat with him the following night immediately!". As the sun slowly disappeared behind the rocks, the young man started.

At the twelfth hour, in the far distance, a bitter cry interrupted the silence of the night. The young man was never seen again and the mysterious work got the name "Teufelstisch".

Very crowded on weekends.
Children's playground with large slide nearby.

The Teufeltisch near Hinterweidenthal is a 14 m high mushroom rock, reminiscent of a table, in the German part of the Wasgau, the southern Palatinate Forest (Rhineland-Palatinate).
It is one of the most distinctive and well-known rock formations in the Dahner Felsenland and is accordingly well visited.
