    Hiking

    The name, Little Steinbacher Switzerland was coined by
    Forester Otto Schmidt, b. 1896 in Steinbach, based on
    of travelogues from the 19th century.


    From this location there were seven grinding knots at a distance of approx. 100 m upstream. After a checkered history of the Steinbachers
    Metal industry is still the "Messerhaus" at the location of the fourth in the Schleifkotengrund
    Sanding feces. It was known as the Steinbacher landmark and collapsed in 1959. (... from information board)
