The bench and the picnic area are located directly on the watercourse. This is a really mystical place to take a break.

A beautiful and idyllic fountain on the Teufelspfad, not far from the Teufelsfels. I have never seen this fountain without water.

The Teufelsbrunnen is located in the nature reserve Gersbachtal above the Teufelsfelsen natural monument. The well itself is a former natural spring that was tapped in the 1930s. The fountain consists of a semi-circular sandstone wall and a small fountain trough in front. In the middle of the sandstone wall, above the well trough, the name of the well - Devil's Well - is embedded in red sandstone.

It is a scenic highlight. The rocks are worth seeing in terms of size, variety of shapes and color effect. A number of paths can be strolled between the rocks, around the rocks and through crevices in these rocks, and you always discover new places. On the southern ridge there is another viewpoint with a view far into the Northern Vosges.
