    Striking rock formation that forms the center of a small nature reserve.

      Among other things, Gottfried Kinkel comments on Teufelsley: “This extremely fantastic rock rises on a narrow mountain ridge, so that it looks as if the mass had been shattered by a terrible shock from the east. There is no doubt that the legend of the castle, which the devil erected sky high in defiance of God, is based on this observation made earlier by the people with their usual natural acumen. (…) This time, as always, it turned out badly for the devil: His half-finished castle was shattered with a single blow of God's hand, and the rock really gives the impression of a Cyclopean castle ruin. ”However, there is no historical news of a possible castle on Teufelsley or even construction remains.
