    Nice view towards Harz and Halberstadt.

      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.

        Previously used as a lookout to monitor the surrounding terrain.
        In the view no question. 😃
