    The mysterious, legendary Schwarzach has dominated the valley south of Prackenfels for thousands of years. The Teufelsgraben, which is typically located between Heiligenholz and Marterslohe. Legends and myths always seemed to determine people's lives here, which can easily be recognized by the names such as the Devil's Church, Devil's Cave and the Devil's Trench. The said Devil's Trench runs absolutely inconspicuously out of a gorge and looks quite harmless.
