On the Stimberg (the highest elevation) in the Haard, the massive blocks, known as Teufelssteine, can be admired. The rock is quartzite, which is dark in color.

The “Stimberghöhe” nature reserve (NSG RE-026) is located in the eastern part of the Stimberg plateau, the highest elevation in the Haard hill country. Impressive quartzite rock formations, which reach a height of up to 2 m, characterize the landscape here, which is extremely valuable from a geological point of view (type locality Stimberg quartzite).
