Hübichenstein, Natural monument in Bad Grund, Germany.
Hübichenstein is a limestone cliff formation near Bad Grund that rises approximately 50 meters above the surrounding land. The two connected rock peaks are composed of Devonian reef carbonate and dominate the local landscape.
In 1897, a large bronze eagle monument with a three-meter wingspan was erected on the summit. This installation marked an important moment in the local history of commemoration and landmark identity.
The name comes from an old legend about dwarf king Hübich who was said to guard the stone. This figure held special meaning in the minds of people living in the region.
The rock formation sits roughly one kilometer northwest of Bad Grund and is easily accessible by hiking trails. Several viewpoints provide views across the surrounding Harz mountains and are reached by walking around the site.
The rock formation marks a significant geological boundary between the Harz upland and the lower plains region. It displays distinctive Upper Devonian reef features that are uncommonly seen in this geographic setting.
