Teufelskanzel, Sandstone rock formation in Lindewerra, Germany
The Teufelskanzel stands at 452 meters elevation, featuring natural sandstone formations that overlook the curved path of the Werra River through the valley.
The mountain inn near the rock formation opened its doors in 1882, establishing itself as a destination for travelers seeking refreshments and regional specialties.
Local folklore explains the name through a tale of the devil carrying a rocky pulpit across the Werra River until exhaustion forced him to abandon it.
Access to Teufelskanzel requires walking either the 2.7-kilometer Kammweg trail from Burgruine or the 1.3-kilometer path from Gerbershausen through Rothenbach.
The restaurant at Teufelskanzel serves traditional Thuringian dishes and fresh beer while maintaining seasonal hours, opening daily in summer and weekends in winter.
