Hiking

The Schwarze Steg has been an integral part of the hiking landscape in the Kupfertal for many decades. His name goes back to an old legend. Accordingly, the Köhler Hans was bred from the Hermersberg forest by Count Robert zu Hermersberg for a hunting offense. In revenge, he is said to have murdered the Count's child on Kupfersteg. The Countess and Köhler Hans also died in horror. This is how the Schwarze Steg owes its name to these atrocities.
