Be sure to visit! Bizarre sandstone formation formed 85 million years ago. From the car park, a comfortable sandy path with steps leads to a viewing platform from which you have a wonderful view of the Harz foothills and as far as Quedlinburg. The path can be extended to a circular path or you can continue hiking the Teufelsmauersteig.
