Meisterstein, Natural monument and summit in Hochsauerlandkreis, Germany.

The Meisterstein rises to 636.4 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock walls surrounding a mountain lake formed in a former quarry.

During the 1930s, diabase extraction at Meisterstein created a large depression that later filled with groundwater to form the current mountain lake.

The Meisterstein quarry zone stands as part of the GrenzWelten Geopark, displaying the geological heritage of North Rhine-Westphalia through educational trails.

Visitors can reach the mountain lake by following the Stollenweg path from Silbach village center to the summit, requiring caution due to unsecured cliff areas.

The turquoise lake at Meisterstein, reaching depths between 7 and 9 meters, serves as a diving location while surrounding cliffs function as climbing spots.
