Stamp point 189 / Große Teufelsmühle

The highest point of the Ramberg is the Viktorshöhe (581 m above sea level), on which the „Große Teufelsmühle“ and the „Kleine Teufelsmühle“ are located. The name Viktorshöhe goes back to Prince Viktor Friedrich von Anhalt (1700 – 1765), who owned a hunting lodge below the mountain. 

The sur­face monu­ment is a group of gra­ni­te rocks on which the so-cal­led wool sack wea­the­ring is cle­ar­ly visi­ble. The inter­ac­tion of phy­si­cal and che­mi­cal pro­ces­ses results in roun­ded-edged blocks of rock that lie sta­cked on top of each other like pil­lows, mat­tres­ses or even wool sacks 

A mil­ler made a pact with the devil. The devil was to build him a mill on the Ram­berg in just one night. In return, the mil­ler was to pledge his soul to the devil for 30 years. Howe­ver, as the mil­ler was afraid of the devil, he remo­ved an important stone from the buil­ding short­ly befo­re com­ple­ti­on. The devil beca­me furious, tore the mill down again and kil­led the mil­ler with one of the boulders. 

Vom Wan­der­park­platz in der Nähe des Kur­parks in Fried­richs­brunn erreicht man die Vik­tors-höhe über den beschil­der­ten Ram­ber­ger Höhen­weg und kann die Wan­de­rung über den Berg­rat-Mül­ler-Teich HWN 190 als Rund­weg gestalten.
