Really beautiful hiking trail over the Teufelskanzel, I like such rustic paths, over stick and stone, not just boringly straight, proper footwear is advisable.

The Poppenstein is located on the northern shore of the Werda Dam. The Poppenstein and the neighboring small rock formations are composed of fruit or knotted slate. This clay slate, formed approximately 500 million years ago, was transformed and hardened under the influence of upwelling magmatic melt. The small pits on the rock's surface are the result of chemical weathering, where embedded minerals were dissolved out. (Information panel at the Poppenstein)
