Druidenhain, Natural monument in Wiesenttal, Germany.

The Druidenhain features multiple rows of limestone blocks measuring between two and five meters high across a one-hectare forest area.

The first written record of Druidenhain appeared in Brückner's hiking guide 'Die fränkische Schweiz und ihr Vorland' third edition from 1912.

Local mythology suggests this rock formation was a Celtic ritual site, though investigations by the University of Erlangen in 1989 found no evidence.

The natural monument extends 200 meters in length and 50 meters in width, situated at an elevation of 455 meters above sea level.

The forest location served as a filming site for the 2020 fairy tale movie 'Der starke Hans'.
