      The Teufelshöhle is a stalactite cave in the Main-Kinzig district in Hesse.
      It is located about three kilometers north of Steinau an der Straße, between the Spessart in the south and the Vogelsberg in the north, on the slope of the Kieskopf.
      The cave is about 2.5 million years old and a geological natural monument.
      Jox Mellmann discovered the cave in 1584 after a cow fell into it.
      The population avoided the cave for a long time because they believed the devil lived in it.
      The first inspection took place in 1830, when the papermaker's journeyman Walter from Steinau let himself be rappeled into the cave.
