[2] The mountain lies northeast of the Brocken, the highest elevation in the Harz, about 200 m east of the road way from Drei Annen Hohne to Plessenburg.

At that time it had a good view of the Brocken and towards Ilsenburg and Wernigerode.

Today this outlook is no longer visible due to the tall spruce trees that block the view.

AT the Wolfsklippen the last wolf in the area is supposed to have been killed,[3] which is where the name of the mountain comes from.

According to another legend, the name of the crags comes from the witch hunting period, when a girl accused of witchcraft hid here with a she-wolf.
