Devil's Table at Waldstein

One of the special rock formations that can be discovered at Waldstein: a mighty, upwardly expanding boulder with an oval plate, the legendary Devil's Table. According to legend, the devil played a wild card game with goblins here.

At the castle gate of the former Waldstein Fortress there is an oval boulder with deep holes in it. According to legend, the devil played cards with goblins and ghosts, they were made of iron. However, what is more real is that the holes originate from a kind of pavilion that was removed in the 19th century. The only evidence of this can be found in a work by the engraver Gerd Könitzer.

In the saga (on the plate) it was the file maker from Weißdorf, a powerful ghost banner who played cards with the devil and left his mark on the table.
