A mighty rock. Legend of the Devil's Cellar: When the Rhön was still pagan, the devil still felt like the master of the area. But then Saint Kilian came to the country, preached Christianity, and many were baptized. This made the devil terribly angry. When work began on building a church in the valley, the devil became so angry that he dragged all the stones that had been brought to build the church up to the Gangolfsberg and joined them together to form a grotto so tightly that no one could separate them. When people noticed this, they drew a cross on every building stone. The devil had to leave it alone. But the stones that he had brought up previously formed the Devil's Church. The devil lived hidden in this Devil's Church, which was actually just a dark cave, and continued to cause mischief on earth. Unsuspecting farmers, berry pickers, and hard-working forest workers had to make his acquaintance. He offered the good people money to win them over to his schemes and to lead them astray. One day, however, someone confided in a priest because he had a bad conscience. That same day, some brave men set out with the priest to drive the devil out of his hiding place with prayers and holy water. And so it happened. The cave smelled of sulphur and when the priest sprayed the holy water, the devil came out of the cave cursing loudly and has not been seen since. That is why the place is still called the Devil's Cellar today and sometimes it is said that it still smells of sulphur today.

A slightly different staircase... definitely a challenge when it's wet

Concentration, good shoes and sure-footedness are required here. Open your eyes and slow down.

The path lives up to its name, you have to be really careful. Especially when the stones are wet.

Non-slip shoes with good traction are helpful here.

This impressive path leads to or from the basalt prism wall - made of basalt prisms 🙃

A bit of surefootedness is required here. But no problem for the experienced (mountain) hiker. In any case, the path is a nice change from the forestry paths.

Little water at the moment... still a place worth seeing
