We took our snack break on the bench at the Predict Chair

Constantly changing rock formations are present throughout the hike. Benches have been set up at many rock overhangs.

the devil's altar is a reconstruction, not the real one

Strange rock formation....what if the block under this "head" cracks or shifts...

Rest benches and a table are also available here.

Again and again our gaze is drawn to the impressive rocks along the way.

Very refreshing in summer! The tear lay is a lime sinter grotto worth seeing, in which lime deposits have given rise to unusual rock shapes. The explanation for this phenomenon: When rainwater seeps through the thick layer of sandstone on the plateau, it dissolves the calcareous binder that holds the quartz grains of the rock together. Where spring water emerges on slopes and valleys, but also on the banks of streams or rivers, the carbonic acid escapes from the soluble lime compound, the water evaporates and what remains is almost pure limestone. It is called lime sinter or lime tuff. The lime sinter settles along the flow paths of the water and covers mosses and plant parts with a stone crust. This is how fascinating rock shapes are created. The process of tufa formation continues steadily, the rocks "grow" like stalactites. (Source: www.naturpark-suedeifel.de)

The "Deiwelselter" (Devil's Altar) near Diekirch is built on a dolmen, which according to studies is about 4000 years old. Originally, the remarkable stone gate probably did not look like it does today. Since the remains of two human skeletons from different eras were found here, it is assumed that it was a tomb. The "Deiwelselter", as it stands there today, was rebuilt in 1892 from large blocks of stone that lay on this site and has been a landmark of the city of Diekirch ever since.
