    The Kleine Gleichberg (641 m) forms a "geological twin" with the opposite Großer Gleichberg (679 m). Both mountains are basalt cones of volcanic origin. The name "Steinsburg" (867: Steinberg) probably originated from the large stone fields surrounding the mountain plateau. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe recognized the volcanic origin of these stone fields as early as the 18th century. The basalt of the former volcanic vent disintegrated through erosion into the seas of blocks visible today, a typical feature of crumbling volcanic ruins. These basalt blocks were used in Celtic times to build dry stone walls to protect the oppidum. A total of three rings of walls were built, surrounding the mountain similar to city walls.

      The Gleichberge consist mainly of volcanic basalt cones. The stones line the hiking trail and the slopes as large boulders. They are continually formed by water and frost and are covered with moss in damp weather. On your hike you always have very nice views over the heaps, the forest and the surrounding area.
