The Steinerne Rose is a rare natural monument. It is a diabase rock formation, that originated on the sea bed from outflowing lava in the middle Devonian, i.e. about 400 million years ago. The lava formed pillow-like bodies which have an internal structure of concentric layers. Over thousands, if not millions, of years these layers have been weathered out , giving the bodies the appearance of rosebuds in bloom.
The Steinerne Rose is located at about 700 metres, north of Kloster, a village in the borough of Saalburg-Ebersdorf in the district of Saale-Orla-Kreis in the central German state of Thuringia, on the local road known as the Reußische Fürstenstraße , immediately on the right in front of the bridge over the old Schleiz–Saalburg railway.
