Interesting information boards on the rock formations and the history of the earth from a geological point of view.

On December 19, 2020, the hut was made available to the general public. Since then, the interior has been equipped with a sleeping loft of approx. 5 square meters, a 3.5m long solid log table and several benches. The windows and the door keep wind and weather outside. A handcrafted acrylic glass pane is installed in the gable on the south side and allows a view of the sunrise from the sleeping loft. A USB charging station and LED lighting powered by a PV system are available as technical equipment. In the outdoor area, under the roof overhangs, several solid wood seats were installed and also provide visitors with a weatherproof rest area. Since June 2021 we have kept two drawers with mineral water and spritzer in the basement for those who are thirsty. Source: https://hennweiler.de/tourismus/teufelsfelshuette/

The Teufelsfels observation tower, called Langer Heinrich, offers a good all-round view.

The rock formation is also called the "Kirner Dolomites" - and in fact the Oberhauser Felsen, high above the idyllic Hahnenbach valley, are probably the climbing area par excellence in the southern Hunsrück. Visible from afar, they tower over the town of Kirn with its historic old town and the Kyrburg. At the top of the mountain, after rock climbing, you will be rewarded with a fantastic view over the Hunsrück hills and to Wartenstein Castle.

The vault made of slate is particularly great. On two benches you can enjoy the wonderful quiet place.
