The Tüfelsburdi (Teufelsburde) exists of three big granite blocks from the Val de Bagnes in Valais. The today's name Tüfelsburdi was hewed in 1872 into the big block (see picture gallery). In 1850 the team to Jahn still called moor stone, on a rock sample he called them even druid's stone. Natural stone layouts like the Tüfelsburdi drew the people since ever and served them as cult sites and strength places.

One assumes from the fact that the remarkable blocks of the Tüfelsburdi were a place of ritual actions at least since the Neolithic Age. In 1848 shards of Celtic potteries and sound sculptures as well as coal leftovers were found with excavations beside the big block.

The legend

The old cult stones were brought in one or other way with the devil in connection. In the case of the Tüfelsburdi the devil should have collected the blocks to be founded a castle on the Jolimont to be able to observe from there the Erlacher, Tschugger, Gampeler and Galser. Which is why just they should be kept under surveillance by the Gehörnten, the legend hides.
