location

The Bielstein rises in the geo-nature park Frau-Holle-Land (Werratal.Meißner.Kaufunger Wald) within the wooded Stiftswald Kaufungen around 2 km west-southwest of the core town of Helsa , 2.5 km north of its district Eschenstruth and around 4 km (distances each as the crow flies ) southeast of Kaufungen .

Almost 200 m (as the crow flies) east of the Bielstein summit is the massive natural monument Bielstein Church (also called Bielstein Church or Bielstein Church), a church- shaped basalt rock formation, the rocks of which rise up to about 15 m and were probably used as a sacrificial site in pre-Christian times .

The Michelskopf lakes are located almost 600 m (as the crow flies) northwest of the Bilstein summit on the Michelskopf . The source of the pork croissant lies in the direction of Eschenstruth .
