Tips
The "summit" of the Steimelskopf lies in the middle of a pasture area and is only recommended when the weather and vegetation are suitable. In the midst of a heather landscape, you can enjoy a wonderful view from up here over the Lahn valley to the Galgenberg in Villmar, the Goldenen Grund, the Mensfelder Kopf and the Limburg Basin. The Rhine Taunus and the southern Westerwald greet you from the background.
