How to reach the Pietra del diavolo
According to legend, the Rio di Pusteria farmers had once angered the devil so much that he swore revenge. He carried a stone from Luson and wanted it to roll down from Mutenock to Rio di Pusteria. The devil chose the shortest way. But because the stone was heavy and a devil had to rest once, he put down his rucksack with the stone. In his rage and anger against the people of Rio di Pusteria he had not noticed, however, that the morning was beginning to grey and that the Terentop sacristan – who was an early riser – was already ringing the prayer bell for the morning greeting. So the devil had to leave the stone and flee back to the underworld. This is why the “Devil’s Stone” (Pietra del diavolo) is still lying in the middle of the forest at about 1,700 m above the Nunewieser.
