The Devil's Stone is a 317 m high mountain, on top of which the eponymous boulder is located - about 2.50 m high and up to 4 m wide. The signs of processing indicate that it was used in earlier times as a cult object.
Five carved steps lead up to a depression, which is interpreted as a sacrificial basin for the religious rites of the former, presumably Celtic users, from which a "blood channel" runs down beside the steps.
You can reach it via the Pfälzer Weinsteig premium hiking trail.
Teufelstein – simply fantastic: The devil’s stone, 2,50 metres high and up to 4 metres wide has a veritably “devilish” legend behind it. The strange steps in the stone are supposed to have been made by the devil’s hooves as he rode over the stone, enraged at the building of the Limburg monastery, the only way that he could show his anger. More information available during the guided tour “Kaiser, Kelten und Kohorten”.
