Who the devil put this here?

by David Tanner, Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG), Hannover, Germany

Vertically bedded Cretaceous sandstones at Devil's Wall. The beds were folded upright as the Harz Mountains were formed. Legend has it that the Devil tried to build a wall between the Harz Mountains and the fertile arable land to the north.
