Past the Devil's Table, the landmark of the Palatinate Forest, we hike through the valleys of Salzbach and Wieslauter.
The Devil's Table, a striking sandstone formation on a ridge near Hinterweidenthal, resembles a huge tabletop resting on a table leg. According to legend, the devil built the table at night as a resting place. More likely is the scientific explanation: softer rock parts were eroded away, while harder layers remained. Passing the Devil's Table – the landmark of the Palatinate Forest – we hike through the valleys of Salzbach and Wieslauter. In the Salzbach, wood was once floated and salt transported, which gave the stream its name. Through the Wieslauter valley and past another rock – the Heufels – it goes back to Hinterweidenthal.
