    The bare, towering rock that pushes its way into the Danube valley between Saal and Bad Abbach is called Teufelsfelsen and its peculiar crown is called Teufelskanzel or Predigtstuhl. The people tell the following legend about it:

    The inhabitants of the Danube valley were pious and god-fearing, and the blessings of heaven lay visible on their fields. The devil was angry about this and decided to alienate the people from their faith. In monk's habit he climbed the highest mountain in the area, made a stone pulpit on the top and preached to the people from there. He promised them all the good things of earthly happiness if they followed his teachings. But very soon he was recognized and no one wanted to hear him anymore. Then he was very angry, in his anger he grabbed a piece of rock and threw it into the Danube. He stamped his foot so hard on the ground that the mark on the devil's pulpit can still be seen today.

      From the Teufelsfelsen you have a great view of the Danube. From Alkofen you can walk there in 5 to 10 minutes.
