The devils table


The devils tableExperience the mystical beauty of the Bavarian Forest on a hike to the Devil's Table. This astonishing geological wonder, situated at an elevation of 901 meters, is known for its unusual and almost magical appearance. The formation consists of a large, flat stone balanced on a column-like rock, known as the "Devil's Table."

Let yourself be enchanted by the local legends that attempt to explain the origin of this strange rock formation. One legend tells of the devil being surprised here at lunch. The ringing of the church bells is said to have frightened him so much that he left his meal—a petrified roast pork with dumplings—and fled.

It's not just the mystical stories that make the Devil's Table a special destination, but also the breathtaking panoramic view over the town of Regen, which you can enjoy from this unique vantage point.

Geologically, the Devil's Table is a testament to the erosive forces that have acted in this region over millions of years. Such rock formations often arise through weathering processes, where the softer substrate erodes faster than the harder stone above.

Whether you are interested in the nature, history, or culture of the Bavarian Forest, the Devil's Table has something for everyone.

Plan your trip to the Devil's Table and discover the fascination of this place for yourself. An unforgettable experience awaits you, immersing you deep into the mythical world of the Bavarian Forest.
