It goes by the legend, every year at Walpurgis the stone sounds like a bell and shows the witches the way to the Brocken.

The bell stone is located above the Wurmbach valley in Stecklenberg.
The granite block, whose shape reminds of a bell, was probably an ancient Germanic place of worship in prehistoric times. According to legend, the bellstone sounds like a bell during the Walpurgis Night, thus showing the witches the way to the Brocken.
