Hiking
Due to a gap at the front, it is said to resemble a bread cupboard and is therefore called the "Deuvel's bread cupboard". Since this boulder was presumably used as a sacrificial or cult stone in the past, it was associated with the devil.

Due to its size and flat top, it may have been used as a sacrificial or cult stone.
The stone's name probably derives from a natural crack on its front: the boulder looks as if it could be opened like a breadbox.
Descendants, who could not explain the origin and significance of the large boulder, rumored that it was the devil's breadbox.
The boulder was once connected to the nearby "Witches' Dance Floor," now so called, by a row of stones, the fragments of which can still be seen.
