The Steigerwald is located on the southern outskirts of the city. The more than 1,000 hectare forest area is ideal for active pursuits far away from the city center. The Steigerwald has been designated as a landscape conservation area since 1940 and has several hiking trails that all cross at the so-called "Stern".
