    The summer cliffs are very close by. A great path leads up. There are also remains of former quarries along the way.

    An old quarry, called Femegericht (Feme is Central German and means "punishment") from which probably already stones for the construction of Lauenburg and the Stecklenburg were broken.

    In the 19th century as a breakfast place with Steibblock table and three steps before for the Quedlinburg mayor Brecht prepared since the Rambergforst was owned by the city of Quedlinburg.

    The Femegericht is also known as the Devil's Baptismal font and Knyphausen's Ruh.
