Devil's Table Hinterweidenthal

Highlight • Natural Monument

The mighty stone Devil's Table, the landmark of the Dahner Rocklands, is surrounded by a mysterious legend.

One night the devil went for a walk here. Very tired and hungry, he was looking for a rest stop. With glowing eyes he scoured the entire Palatinate Forest. Nowhere could he find a job that lived up to his claim. Full of rage and anger, he grabbed three huge boulders and set them to a table. After he had dined there, he left again. He left the table behind.

When the first rays of the sun drove the night, people saw the work. Many were sure, "Here must the devil have fed!" Only one was brave and incredulous. "That can not be, then I will eat with him the following night immediately!". As the sun slowly disappeared behind the rocks, the young man started.

At the twelfth hour, in the far distance, a bitter cry interrupted the silence of the night. The young man was never seen again and the mysterious work got the name "Teufelstisch".

Highlight • Natural Monument

ATTENTION, the ascent cannot be made with an E-MTB. Bio bikes yes. carry a few meters, the slope is sometimes over 20%.
The best way to circumnavigate the trail is with a pedelec.

Neudahn Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Neudahn was destroyed like almost all castles in Wasgau in the course of the peasants' war in the 16th century. Nevertheless, it belongs to one of the best preserved castles of the Palatinate Forest and was fortunately restored in the 70s true to the original.

Witch's Mushroom

Highlight • Natural Monument

Not to be missed on the way to the Neudahn castle ruins. Can almost keep up with the devil's table.

Satan's Throne

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Satan's chunk and the witch's mushroom are only a few meters apart.
However, the name witch mushroom is more unequivocal than the Satan's chunk ... You can see it.
