The Druidenstein is a cone-shaped basalt rock in the northern Heller Upland above the town of Kirchen on the Sieg in the parish of Herkersdorf, Altenkirchen, Germany. The basalt cone stands at a height 431 m above sea level and is about 20 metres high.
The Druidenstein is about 25 million years old and covers an area of about 100 m². Its unusual shape was caused when lava forced itself through the Devonian greywacke of the basement and then solidified. As a result, prismatic basalt columns formed at right angles to the cooling surface.
