    The legend of the famous Devil's Stone goes like this: After many unsuccessful attempts by the people of Uri to build a bridge through the Schöllenen Gorge, they turned to the devil for help. As compensation, the devil was to be awarded the first soul to cross the bridge. After the bridge was built, however, the clever people of Uri sent a billy goat across the bridge instead of a human being. The furious devil wanted to destroy the bridge again and instead fetched this enormous boulder to throw onto the bridge. However, he didn't get a chance, as a pious old woman painted a cross on the stone, and the devil therefore left the stone in Göschenen.

      There it is! I've known it for 35 years, as a monument and a constant eye-catcher along the bike path (and from the road too).
