The Teufelsley is the counterpart to the larger Engelsley—both offer excellent vantage points over the Rur Valley above Dreistegen. The names suggest this; the rock formations are associated with legends about how an angel vanquished the devil (who threatened Reichenstein Monastery).

The Teufelsfelsen (Ley = rock) is about 100 meters north of the Engelsfelsen high above the Rur valley with a great view.

The nature reserve Unteres Perlenbachtal with the rock formations of the Teufelsley and Engelsley are located in the area of the city of Monschau.

The lower course of the Perlbach includes two forest and rocky sections. In between lies the Perlenbachtalsperre. Mostly middle-aged spruces grow on the slopes. Some of the larger cliffs have been upgraded to viewpoints. A heather-like vegetation has developed in places on the rocks. Numerous ferns thrive in the shady area, including the rare thin fern (Trichomanes speciosum). The lower part of the Perlenbach up to the confluence with the Rur is accompanied by riparian forests.
