The Devil's Bone is a cooled lava flow whose bizarre shape was created by volcanic processes and erosion.

👌🏼🥾🥾It's like a playground for adults - a wildly romantic outdoor feeling 🌊📸 Spectacular trass walls from the former volcanic eruption🌋. 🌊📸A great photo location📸

You have to leave the Quellenweg for a short while, but it is worth visiting this place.

About 200,000 years ago, a volcanic vent opened up north of Wehr am Hüttenberg, throwing out loose volcanic material. During and after the eruption, there were violent storms caused by the hot gas column meeting the cold atmosphere. Rainfall combined the volcanic ash, the weathered clay of the Devonian rocks and shattered material into a muddy mass. This mud flow poured through the valley of the Wirrbach towards the Brohltal, sloshed up the Bausenberg slope (the volcanic mountain did not yet exist at that time) and flowed on to Burgbrohl.

The Tönissteiner Bach has dug a truly spectacular landscape through the trass layers. Again and again you stop in amazement in the gorge-like, narrow Wolfsschlucht.

The shady path along the stream is very easy to walk.

After the Trass caves, which are very easy to walk through, the volcano and panoramic trail awaits you with a challenging climb. In some sections, the trail is secured with ropes.

An almost alpine climb. Closed from November to February inclusive for safety reasons.
