The Doost near Wilchenreuth: A wild and romantic valley with many polished granite rocks and legends. In the direction of the raft, in a narrow forest ravine, there is a dark wood with roaring water, which falls through moss-covered and lying stone blocks, called the Tost. It is a horrible, wild, romantic wilderness. Because of the devil's churn, various legends are in circulation, the devil would have milked the cows in the open field, and would have buttered up in the doost, when one day his churn was contaminated, he got angry and pierced the bottom of the keg. The Doost with its legends and its wilderness is a real experience for hikers and nature lovers.

There are many legends surrounding the beautiful Doost nature reserve. You can read them on metal plaques attached directly to the stones. The devil is said to have churned on this stone.
