The Elfenstein is a hill spur, about 475 m above sea level (NN),[1] in the northern foothills of the Harz Mountains of central Germany and the site of the eponymous granite rock formation above the town of Bad Harzburg. It is located in the unincorporated area of Harz in the county of Goslar in the state of Lower Saxony.
The Elfenstein lies in the Upper Harz within the Harz Nature Park. It rises west of the town of Bad Harzburg and southwest of the village of Bündheim between the valley of the Gläsecke to the west and that of the Bleiche to the east.
