The stone dumps of the Steinsburg on the Kleiner Gleichberg near Römhild in Thuringia are a sea of volcanic rock formed by the eroding basalt blocks of the former volcano. They line the slopes of the basalt cones and are a typical feature of the crumbling volcanic ruins of the Gleichberg Mountains. The term "Steinsburg" probably derives from these large stone fields surrounding the mountain plateau. In Celtic times, these basalt blocks were used to build dry-stone walls for the oppidum (hilltop settlement) built around the mountain.

Hiking

The Großer Gleichberg is also a very nice destination. There you have two great views, one in Franconia and the other in Klein Gleichberg.

Hiking

The view of the surroundings is worth every effort, from above you can see the Großer Gleichberg on the opposite side, the Steinsburg Museum in the valley (very interesting for those interested in history, especially in connection with the Celts) and the further and nearer surroundings. Of course, the Steinsburg awaits you when you get to the top. In the spring there are numerous spring bloomers to marvel at, such as March cups and liverworts.
