The Legend the legend, in which the devil built the castle here, high in the sky, in defiance of God, based on this observation of the rocks, which had already been made in the past by people with a natural acumen. (...) This time, as always, it did not work out well for the devil: his half-finished castle was shattered by one blow of the hand of God, and the rock really gives the impression of a Cyclopean castle ruin.

The largest contiguous quartzite block in Europe, Teufelsley, is located four kilometres from Dümpelfeld.

Great climbing rock.

A beautiful tower with a great view. When it's not foggy😉

Demanding ascent. Unfortunately in complete fog and without a view 🤷‍♂️

A beautiful and well maintained tower

Best view between Cologne and Koblenz

For the quartzite blocks see e.g. B. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teufelsley_(Rhineland-Palatinate) The largest quartzite block in Europe is 80 meters long and 18 meters high. Quartzite sandstone, the oldest Eifel rock, was formed around 400 million years ago. At that time the region was on the equator, and a Devon Sea covered the land. And its deposits formed rock formations like this over the course of the tides. Quartzite itself is barren, but soil collects in its cracks, greening the stone. The red inclusions come from iron components. The word Ley means rock. According to legend, the devil once wanted to build a castle here all the way to heaven - but a single push from God was enough to thwart his blasphemous plan.
