Hiking
Many centuries ago, so the story goes in the Bode Valley, there was a narrow path that led through a dark crevice in the rock – today's Devil's Throat. Anyone wishing to pass through this dangerous passage had to pay a toll to the devil himself.
One day, a farmer from the nearby village came along this path with his cart full of wood. When he reached the dark chasm, a sinister figure confronted him. "You may pass," said the devil, "but first you must pay my toll."
