Teufelsrutsch

Die Teufelsrutsch ("Devil's Slide") is a densely wooded porphyry knoll in Rhenish Hesse, Germany.

It is a popular place for excursions with wonderful views over the Wiesbach valley.

About 20 m below the viewing platform is an accessible gallery, called Schinderhannes Cave.

Ostensibly it was occupied at times by the famous outlaw and thief Johannes Bückler (nicknamed "Schinderhannes") and his comrades.

In 1885 a cabin ("Schweizerhaus") was erected at the top of Teufelsrutsch in order to accommodate the growing number of tourists.
