The Devil's Stone of Halmstein > a geotope and natural monument
The quartz conglomerate ridge protrudes very conspicuously and isolated from the morphological terrain ridge. Former quartz gravel was largely silicified during diagenesis, so that the rock today consists almost exclusively of SiO2. The layer surface of the steeply standing block consists of quartzite (originally sandstone) and has scour-like erosion forms. (Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU))

Here there is the possibility to shorten the tour after visiting the Halm-Teufelstein. Continue along the main street, after about 800m you will meet the tour again (approx. 25 minutes shorter). Beer garden and game reserve in town.
