The Devil's Pulpit (Teufelskanzel) is a rocky outcrop in the Deister hills near Nienstedt, designated as a natural monument. It lies within the Devil's Chamber (Teufelskammer), a section of the state forest in the Deister hills between the Nordmann Tower (Nordmannsturm) and the Old Baptismal Font (Alte Taufe). Besides the forestry use of the beech forest, there was a quarry east of the Devil's Pulpit near the Nordmann Tower, as well as several mine shafts, such as the Devil's Chamber Tunnel (Teufelskammerstollen) about 500 meters west of the Devil's Pulpit, for extracting coal. Numerous other smaller sandstone blocks can be found on the Deister slopes in the vicinity of the Devil's Pulpit. This is due to the varying weathering of the sandstone and marl layers from the Lower Cretaceous period that outcrop on the southwest slope and dip to the northeast.

On a snowshoe hike, the Wallmannhütte in the Deister hills becomes a quiet, almost magical place. Surrounded by snow-covered forest, it offers a welcome break where you can pause for a moment and enjoy the winter tranquility.
