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.

It is assumed that the first chapel was built on the Michelsberg as early as the beginning of the 14th century. A missal dated 1456 was written for the "Michaelskapelle auf dem Mahlberg", although this place name refers to the earlier name of the Michelsberg. Of the chapel, which was finally built around 1500, only the late Gothic choir with its net vault remains today. The transverse rectangular nave with a three-storey west tower in front of it was built in the late 17th century and renovated between 1857 and 1860 after large parts of it had burned down in a lightning strike in 1836. The tower roof was added in 1869. As part of its renovation in 1934 and 1935, an observation platform was also created in the tower. The chapel was systematically repaired between 1953 and 1961. The roofs were re-covered, the exterior and interior plastering was renewed and the stucco ceiling of the nave was repaired. The open staircase on the south side, which leads to the portal of the church, was also rebuilt as part of the renovation. Source: Wikipedia

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.

When you think of Nürburg, you only think of fast cars and tight corners? Then you're not familiar with the castle ruins of the same name. Nürburg was founded before 1166, probably by the Counts of Are. Characteristic slate-covered conical roofs mark the silhouette of the castle, visible from afar. Not only the view from the mighty keep is worth a visit, but also the impressive remains of the former castle complex, which was expanded in several so-called "growth rings."
