Is one of 12 destinations in the "Deister Wanderpass", with which you can collect a stamp at each station. As a reward, the Deister hiking pin beckons at the end. The forest restaurant Teufelsbrücke is the stamp office no. 10.

The saga of how the Devil's Bridge got its name in the Deister: According to the old story, a hunter was hunting there and killed a magnificent stag. Unfortunately, a raging brook separated him and his prey. He couldn't get to the stag he had killed and cursed so roughly that the devil showed himself. The latter offered him a deal: the devil would build a bridge over the brook, but he would take the hunter with him into his kingdom if he should mention his name again. The hunter agreed, eager for his prey. The devil then formed a bridge over the stream so that the hunter could cross the stream and get his prey. He carried the stag to the castle in Rodenberg. Some time passed. At some point the hunter boasted about his story in the village pub in Rodenberg and said he had cheated the devil. Then the earth opened up. The horned man appeared and dragged the hunter down with him into hell. The hunter was never seen again. But the Devil's Bridge has had her name since that night.

As a landmark that can be seen from afar, the lookout tower had a function in the state survey and served as an excursion destination for the spa guests in Nenndorf and the residents of surrounding towns. A network of hiking trails in the Deister was created in the vicinity of the tower. The European long-distance hiking trail E1 leads past the Belvedere Tower. Due to lack of maintenance, damage during the Second World War and vandalism in the years that followed, the tower fell into disrepair. The stairs inside had collapsed, stones broken out. The tower was repaired in 1987 with funds from the state of Lower Saxony, the municipality of Bad Nenndorf and the district of Schaumburg and an additional steel structure was added.
