On the Devil's Path Tour, after the impressive Teufelsfels and Hühnerfels, you come to the Haspelfels with an original bench.

A kind of large half-cave with a rest area on the side. When we visited, water was dripping from above into the middle. Beautiful.

A nice, covered rest area. Sometimes a waterfall splashes down here. A great photo motif even without water.
