Narrative
The stone is the Devil’s Foot. Rather rare motive of the Devil in folklore, where the stone itself matches a particular part of the body of a character.
Location
Comments
Access by boat from the river, or by feet crossing a private courtyard, which is not the best option for larger tourist flows. In general the object might not be very interesting for the wider public.
