Weißer Stein, Summit at border between Büllingen, Belgium and Euskirchen, Germany.

Rising to 693.3 meters, Weisser Stein stands in the Zitter Forest, marking the territorial limit between Belgium and North Rhine-Westphalia.

Before 1920, the area belonged to Germany, with initial measurements indicating an elevation of 689 meters at a nearby reference point.

The white quartzite block located in Bocksvenn area suggests potential Celtic ritual practices, with neighboring forests indicating connections to Odin worship.

Multiple hiking paths cross the summit area, with trail maps and parking facilities available in both Büllingen and Euskirchen municipalities.

The University of Liège measurements in 2007 sparked discussions about this location being potentially higher than Signal de Botrange, Belgium's official highest point.
