The Romans knocked out large blocks of sandstone from what was originally a crevice in the Heidenfels, which was barely more than a meter wide, which they needed to build the Roman villa in Boos. This created the cave that later served Germanic settlers as a home. The robber captain Schinderhannes is also said to have found shelter there.
That is why the Teufelshöhle is also called Schinderhanneshöhle.

Unfortunately, there are no longer any correct routes to the cave, although they are still shown on the maps. You have to make your way across country more or less. This is still relatively possible in winter and spring.

Nahe riverbank in Boos

Highlight • River

The banks of the Nahe are very romantic and natural at Boos. A rest area is available for a break and you can cool off your feet in the river.

The boathouse in Boos belongs to the protestant parish of Bad Kreuznach and is primarily available to youth groups from the parish of Nahe and Glan and the district of Bad Kreuznach. In addition, free appointments are also given to other groups. Since 1984, the Bundische Evangelische Jugend has been taking care of and administering the boathouse.
