Königsstuhl, Rock formation at Donnersberg mountain, Germany.
The Königsstuhl rises at the western edge of the Donnersberg plateau, forming a natural throne-shaped structure of rhyolite rock at 687 meters elevation.
The formation stands near ancient Celtic fortifications from the Hallstatt period, where remnants of defensive walls still mark the landscape today.
The site connects to multiple thematic hiking paths, including the Celtic Sculpture Trail completed in 2014, showcasing regional heritage through outdoor art.
Two parking areas located 900 meters east of the formation provide access to the site, with the district road K51 leading directly to them.
The rhyolite block extends 8 kilometers deep into the Earth's crust, resulting from magma intrusion despite Donnersberg not being a volcano.
