Solidified magma from the Earth's interior. The 30-meter-long and 90-cm-thick Devil's Wall was formed by volcanic activity approximately 14 to 7 million years ago. It can be reached from the "Teufelseck" mountain hut.

Definitely stop by 😍 The price is a bit high, but the food is great and the atmosphere is fantastic. You can also just walk there for a coffee or even drive there if you want. Highly recommended as a little break 💚

State border between Hesse & Lower Saxony

Just a few meters from the Tillyschanzen tower - and yet already on Hessian territory - lies the restaurant, which has been a popular destination for hikers, tourists and locals for decades. During the corona-related break and a simultaneous change of ownership, the entire area was completely renovated and redesigned. The previous operator, Reinhold Heck, who retired in autumn 2020, always came up with something special to offer visitors: In the past there were even rock concerts and techno parties high above the roofs of the city, as well as medieval activities, small Christmas markets and poetry readings. Nowadays, the Tillyschanze Protection and Promotion Association organizes numerous events throughout the year, such as summer festivals and music events, which attract many visitors.

Visitors cannot miss the small square house, even just visually. It stands right next to the bridge that leads to the popular tourist destination, and shines out at visitors in the strong colors of black, red and yellow. "The house is intended to draw attention to a special feature," explains Bernhard Ruschinski, who built and painted the house, "the state border between Lower Saxony and Hesse." The 73-year-old is a member of the Tillyschanze Protection and Promotion Association, which has been working for years to preserve and renovate the observation tower and the zigzag path that leads directly up the mountain from Münden. An adult can comfortably stand in the small house and turn around on their own axis. The tapered entrance is on the side of the restaurant. Under the roof, which is covered with weatherproof roofing felt, hangs a sign reading "Tillyschanze border checkpoint." "It is built entirely from old pallets," says Ruschinski. The idea for the checkpoint came from the new owner of the "Waldgaststätte Tillyschanze" restaurant, Thomas Probek. "He asked me if it could be built." This was no problem for the pensioner, who used to work as a carpenter. "I am a technical employee in the support association," he explains with a wink.
