The rock castle with the devil's bowls is impressive. As you climb up, you can see bowl-like depressions on the rock that are constantly filled with water. There are many interpretations as to how these bowls could have come about. Scientists assume a natural weathering process. According to legend, devils and witches met when the moon was full and performed magic of the most horrid kind. A longer stay brings rest and relaxation. It is a pleasant place to linger and the most powerful place on the path to deceleration.

The Teufelsschüssel (1108 m) is a mountain of towering, huge boulders in the border area of Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. In the area you hike through swamp soils and the national park with dead wood.
