    The legendary "Teufelstein" (Devil's Rock or Lucifer's Rock) is a conspicuous rock on the top of the highest hill (1498m) in the Fischbacher Alps Northeast of Schanz near Fischbach, Styria/Austria.

    Coordinates of Lucifer's Rock:
    y -53.715.0 / x + 5.258.755.0 or 47°27' North/15°37,5' East.
    The central line of the total solar eclipse of August 11th, 1999 went directly over this monument.

    In recent times, this rock became the subject of various speculations, theses, and serious scientific experts’ reports following the discoveries of the lawyer and local historian, Dr. Hubert Stolla of Kindberg.

    There are several facts, that lead to further considerations:

    * Two walls of Devil’s Rock seem to be not naturally broken (geological expertise, Univ. Prof. J. G. Haditsch, Leoben). The walls seem to be artificially treated in a way to make a flat surface.

    * One of the hands on the flat vertical wall point to a spot on the horizon where at the winter solstice, the morning sun rises, or more exactly, the place where, about every 18 years, the full moon rises on the evening of the summer solstice.
