Randonnée en Grand Est: Sentier de la grotte de l'EnferVideo: Outdooractive – Flyover Videos
Geologically, the cave is a diaclase appearing as a corridor. The ceiling height at its highest point inside is 10 meters. The Hell cave, located in the Bois de l'Enfer, surrounded by rocks. Often, such a name originates from a legend. Here, it appears following a testimony by a young man. We are at the beginning of the 20th century. After a long trip from Paris, he can finally rest and have a good vacation in Rebeuville. A storm breaks out with lightning, our adventurer arrives at the cave entrance. Impossible to take another step. He sees, in front of him, a human shape appearing in the mist. The body was morbidly thin, his face was frightful and wrinkled. The "thing" was surrounded by a red veil and its eyes propelled lightning. Convinced he had seen the devil himself, he ran away to the village where he described the "beast".
