Teufelstisch

Teufelstisch is a natural rock formation consisting of a large flat stone balanced on a narrower base, creating a distinctive table-like shape. It stands in the Franconian Switzerland region and is set within a hiking landscape of forests and other rock outcrops.

The name 'Devil's Table' was given by medieval inhabitants who created supernatural stories to explain the unusual rock shape. These legends have remained part of regional identity for centuries and helped establish the site as a local landmark.

The rock formation is deeply rooted in local folklore and connected to supernatural stories passed down through generations. Visitors often sense the mysterious quality that has captivated the imagination of people in the region for centuries.

The site is accessible via marked hiking trails that start from Igensdorf and are relatively easy to follow. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear as the paths are natural and can be uneven, especially after wet weather.

Visitors can discover additional natural features in the immediate surroundings, including the Eberhardsberg fountain, which enriches the hiking experience. The wider trail network reveals varied landscape elevations and hidden corners that are easy to overlook on a quick visit.
