Die Teufelsrutsch ("Devil's Slide") is a densely wooded porphyry knoll in Rhenish Hesse, Germany. It is a popular place for excursions with wonderful views over the Wiesbach valley. The name "Devil's Slide" was inspired by a local tale, according to which the residents of Wendelsheim (a nearby village) once tricked the devil into sliding down the stony slope on his bare bottom. Thereafter he was never seen again. Nearby, the remains of a Celtic stronghold have been found. About 20 m below the viewing platform is an accessible gallery, called Schinderhannes Cave. This 60 m-deep ancient cinnabar mine was in use from the 14th century until 1790. Ostensibly it was occupied at times by the famous outlaw and thief Johannes Bückler (nicknamed "Schinderhannes") and his comrades. In 1885 a cabin ("Schweizerhaus") was erected at the top of Teufelsrutsch in order to accommodate the growing number of tourists. Teufelsrutsch is also an internationally known deposit of amethyst and other minerals.

The Kappelberg, at 358 metres, is the highest hill in Rhenish Hesse in central Germany. It lies in the forest of Vorholz between Bechenheim, Orbis and Oberwiesen near the border with the Palatinate. About 10 metres from the highest point is a large cairn of basalt rocks. In old illustrations the Kappelberg was also spelt Cappelberg, which presumably indicates that there may have been an old chapel at this site. A community of interest from the participating villages was founded in May 2008 and the highest point in Rhenish Hesse, which was buried under thick undergrowth, was made accessible and signposted. In March 2009 a summit cross was erected at the top.
