    There is a Devil's Stone at this location. The story goes that at some point the devil stood on the Carolinaberg and saw that the inhabitants of Doesburg were building a church.

    This made him so angry that he threw a large stone at the church tower; however he missed. The stone ended up in the "Unfortunate forests" near Rheden. The prints of his "buck legs" can still be seen in the photos...!

    Please note: the hiking trails around this spot are only accessible between sunrise and sunset.
