Teufelstisch, Hinterweidental, Germany

Description

The Devil's Table near Hinterweidenthal in the Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, is a remarkable geosite and landmark. Its sandstone formed 250 Ma ago during the Early Triassic in a fluvial system situated in an arid environment on the super continent Pangea. Weathering and erosion during the Palaeogen led to its current shape resembling a table.
