It was not the Querkel, the legendary dwarves who are said to have lived in this forest, but the people who carved the twelve steps into the stone block to make the climb easier.

A staircase with twelve steps carved into the rock leads to the Querkelstein. According to the traces, there was originally a wooden viewing platform on the rock.
