The Zyklopensteine (“Cyclopean Stones”) (Dutch: Cycloopstenen) are a geological monument of nature. They are located in the south of the Aachen forest. The 50 sandstone boulders are spread over an area of about one hectare.

The area lies on both sides of the German/Belgian border. The bigger part is on the ground of the Belgian muncipality of Raeren. The next big city is Aachen in Germany.
