The Feuersteinklippe is a rock formation in the Harz National Park in central Germany and the landmark of the nearby village of Schierke.
The Feuersteinklippe is a butte made of granite, not flint as the name suggests. It shows the spheroidal weathering typical of the Harz region. The striking rock formation is located at a height of 690 metres and is surrounded by woods. It lies to the north of Schierke station.
The name Feuersteinklippe is derived from the Schierker Feuersteinwiesen that lie to the southeast, which in turn were named after the cultic fires or signal beacons originally lit at this spot.
