The Hessian Skittles is an arrangement of cone-shaped volcanic mountains in the northwestern, flattest part of the Rhön in eastern Hesse, Germany. The impressive accumulation of volcanic cones is located in the districts of Hersfeld-Rotenburg and Fulda in the northwestern part of the Kuppenrhön east of Eiterfeld and south of Schenklengsfeld.
