The Drachenfelsquelle ("Dragon rock well") is a spring at the foot of the Drachenfels mountain in Bad Honnef (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany).
Originally, the site had a well pond before the modern stone spring was built. According to local legends, the well lies close to the site where Sigurd (Siegfried) slew the dragon Fafnir.
