    The Teufelszahn is a free-standing rock that is part of the now protected Zechstein reefs of the Orlasenke. The striking rock stands with several smaller stones on the edge of a circular depression, which may be a sinkhole formed by the continuous weathering and erosion of softer limestone inside the mountain. As with all reefs and table mountains in the Orlasenke, there is a beautiful view over Pößneck and large parts of the Orla Valley.

    The journey to Brandenstein Castle is very strenuous here. I had to avoid the numerous potholes.
