      The Legend of the Millstone:
      When the devil once saw that a church was to be built in Wolfterode, he got angry and threw a huge piece of rock down from the Hoher Meißner to destroy the people and their work. The stone flew far beyond the target and fell on a meadow, where the mill pond soon formed. A second stone also missed the church and landed like a frog on a meadow near the mill, which is why it was given the name millstone. Because the stone still shows the devil's thumbprint like a cave, it is also called the "devil's stone".

        A legendary stone that can be found below the town of Wolfterode. An information board explains the stone and the legend surrounding the millstone. You can also walk around the entire rock formation on a narrow path. The more interesting side is opposite the information board.
