Three atonement crosses (only one of which is still recognizable as a cross) stand by the wayside in front of a beautiful meadow and a great view. According to legend, a bell founder from Stollberg killed his journeyman there because he had cast a better bell.

The bell stones can be reached via the Schwarzer Weg, a narrow path lined with trees, from Himmelgarten. There are great views of the Kyffhäuser and over Nordhausen on the way.

From Himmelgarten via the Black Route you reach this stamping point of the Harzer hiking nobility. A part of the Luther trail!
