The Quirl rises about two kilometres south of Königstein in the so-called Land of Stones , part of Saxon Switzerland in which table hills are characteristic. In the immediate neighbourhood are the hills of Pfaffenstein and Königstein.
Until around 1800 there were fields on the Quirl that belonged to the hereditary enfeoffed estate of Pfaffendorf. Later the Quirl was placed out of bounds to the public due to its proximity to Königstein Fortress and the fields were abandoned.
