When you take a long walk in the Brasselsberg area at Kassel, Germany and move into the direction of the Hirzstein mountain you can find something special: the ‘Teufelsmauer‘ or devils wall. It is a natural formation made of basalt that looks like a wall that is 30 meters long, 10 meters high and 90 centimeters thick.
