ヒュルトゲンヴァルト周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

According to local tradition, an old legend explains the origin of the Teufelsley (Devil's Rock). The devil was said to have been enraged because a monastery was to be built in the region. In his anger, he dislodged a massive boulder from the heights to destroy the structure. However, as he approached with the stone, an angel intervened, thwarting the devil's plan and stopping his attack. The rock brought by the devil then remained in its present location and has been called Teufelsley ever since.

According to regional oral tradition, the rock formations Engelsley and Teufelsley owe their names to an old legend connected with the construction of a monastery in the Monschau region. The tale recounts that the devil was enraged that a house of worship was to be built on this site. In his anger, he dislodged a massive boulder from the surrounding hills to destroy the building and halt construction. However, as he approached with the stone, an angel confronted him. To protect the monastery, the angel is said to have reached for an even larger rock. With this, he blocked the devil's path and thwarted his plan. The two rock formations—so the legend goes—fell to the ground and remained in the landscape as a visible symbol of this supernatural conflict.

Beautiful paths along the upper Rur, whether upstream or downstream

Nice reservoir. Heavily covered. Only visible from one side (from the side of the busy road)

These narrow streets characterize Monschau.

splendid in any season, to get out of the city and climb in the forest!

View from the Vennbahn.

Indeed a beautiful part of the Eifel along the bustling Ruhr
