The counterstones are the beginning of the so-called "Devil's Wall" from the east. There are 2 counter-stones, the small and the large counter-stone. The large one is accessible and offers a view towards Ballenstedt airfield. From this perspective, interesting observations are possible during takeoffs and landings.
