According to legend, the devil is said to have had the idea to build a staircase to heaven. But when he flew with his load from Kirburg towards Marienberg, the rope on which his building material was hanging broke and the falling basalt stones formed a mighty pile of stones. Others see the Wolfstones as an earlier Celtic place of worship.
