Wilhelmsteine, Rock formation in Siegbach, Germany

The Wilhelmsteine consists of iron pebble rocks rising 15 meters high within a light beech forest at 585 meters elevation in the Schelderwald region.

The natural monument received its designation on January 11, 1958, and bears the name of Duke Wilhelm I of Nassau who governed this territory.

The rock formation serves as a gathering point for forest church services during Ascension Day, bringing together residents from surrounding municipalities including Eschenburg and Angelburg.

Visitors can access the site through a dedicated gravel parking area along the K53 road between Tringenstein and Hirzenhain, marked by a wooden pavilion.

The formation includes multiple individual rocks classified as a geotope within the National Geopark Westerwald-Lahn-Taunus, displaying geological processes through exposed iron-rich materials.
