Because of its wild and romantic appearance, the Teufelsloch became a tourist destination in the 19th century. Richard Wagner also visited here often and stopped off at the Waldhütte. In the second half of the 19th century, the two-arched sandstone bridge was finally built, spanning the deep gorge and allowing access from Oberwaiz to the Waldhütte restaurant. The Teufelsloch has been a nature reserve since 1941.

The blocks of different sizes consist mostly of silicified sand. Most of the natural monument is located just a few meters south of the border between Germany and Belgium in the area of the Belgian municipality of Raeren and is divided by the Aachen Landgraben. However, some of the Cyclops stones can be found on German soil.[2] The starting material for the formation of the Cyclops stones was unconsolidated Upper Cretaceous sand, the so-called Aachen sand, which is widespread in the Aachen Forest area and used to be found in numerous sand pits, e.g. B. the Flög sand pit in Hauset was mined. The Aachen sand was deposited in the Santonian in the area of a shallow sea 85 to 84 million years ago. The tropical climatic conditions during the Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary led to a near-surface solution of quartz from the Cretaceous sands through the penetration of precipitation water. In deeper soil layers, the siliceous solutions were precipitated again under special chemical environmental conditions and then led to partial silicification of the sand deposits.[3] Such formations are called Tertiary quartzites and are quite widespread at high altitudes in the European low mountain ranges. The unconsolidated areas of the Aachen sands have been removed by erosion, so that the cyclops stones now lie on the surface as relics. Previous theories of origin assumed that the Cyclops stones were originally in a higher morphological position. During the Ice Age, the stones are said to have slipped to their current position.[4] This theory is now considered refuted. Source: Wikipedia
