Lit du diable

The Devil's Bed, a place where a legend was born.
Don't be afraid to enter this place. During the day you will not find the Devil here. The brave can be surprised at night. The Devil's fire devours every living thing. Be alert when the sky turns orange. Who knows, it will be your turn next.

The Devil's Bed or Lit du Diable is a very likely natural boulder, located in the municipality of Durbuy in the Belgian province of Luxembourg. It is one of the legend stones in the area, next to the Pierre Haina and the Pas-Bayard.

This monolith was christened "Le Lit du Diable" - the bed of the devil. According to legend, the devil himself laid to rest here before disappearing into the interior of the earth under the higher monolith "Pierre Haina".

Another legend tells that a miller from the nearby town of Aisne once promised the devil his soul to build a dam for him to drive the mill. The devil built the dam, but the miller broke his word, whereupon the devil destroyed the dam again. That tired him so much that he rested here on the stone.
