Hübichenstein, Natural monument in Bad Grund, Germany.
The limestone cliff formation rises 50 meters above the landscape near highway B242, featuring two connected rock peaks formed from Devonian reef carbonate rocks.
In 1897, authorities installed a bronze eagle monument with a three-meter wingspan on top of Hübichenstein to commemorate Kaiser Wilhelm I.
Local folklore tells of dwarf king Hübich who guarded the stone, warning people against climbing it and promising severe penalties for those who disobeyed.
Visitors can access the site one kilometer northwest of Bad Grund, where hiking trails lead to observation points offering views of the surrounding Harz mountains.
The rock formation marks the geological transition between the Harz upland and foreland depression, displaying distinct features of Upper Middle Devonian reef structures.
