    Hiking

    Wonderful view of Halberstadt, the Brocken and the entire area. There are a few steep steps to climb, but the view is worth it.

    The name derives from its outward appearance, as one of the rock formations resembles a hooded monk with some imagination. The term "glasses" derived the vernacular from the word glare (glow, shine, glow), since the rock shines with appropriate sunlight. According to legend, at this point a monk and a nun have broken their chastity rule, whereupon they were turned into stone for punishment.
