The Teufelsgraben forms the border between the neighboring communities.
Because of missing people, animals and recurring epidemics and bad harvests, which were ascribed to the devil, he was banished to this ditch. Sins were also dumped here once a year.
So today everyone who crosses the trench should banish his sins in a pebble and throw it into the trench.

Such small natural ditches or gorges have been used as borders since time immemorial. The Teufelsgraben forms the natural border between the districts of Oberbrombach and Sonnenberg-Winnenberg. Many, many years ago, inexplicable things happened here: animals disappeared, sometimes people too, and each time a failed harvest or animal epidemic followed. Were witches your game or was it the devil? But since no community wanted to admit that the devil came from their side, the decision was made to banish the devil to the border ditch. There everyone threw in their sins once a year and peace and happiness returned. Anyone who crosses the ditch today should take a pebble, banish their sins in it and throw it into the ditch. In the future, too, the devil cannot enter the communities. Source: text information board

There is a basket with stones next to the information board. An information board knows how to tell the meaning of the stone. Take a stone and throw it into the Devil's Gorge. The residents of the neighboring villages will thank you. :)
