Teufelstein, Mountain summit in Styria, Austria.

The Teufelstein rises to 1,498 meters elevation, featuring three stacked rock blocks that form a distinctive six-meter-high natural formation in the Fischbach Alps.

According to regional records, the mountain's name originated from medieval folklore about Lucifer's failed attempt to build a tower reaching heaven by Christmas Eve.

The Teufelstein serves as both a hiking destination and a pilgrimage site along the Styrian Mariazell Trail, attracting visitors throughout the year.

The circular hiking trail spans 8.7 kilometers with 448 meters of elevation gain, offering access points from Zellerkreuz and the Fischbach parish church.

During winter solstice, groups gather at the summit before dawn to participate in a traditional early morning observation of the sunrise.
