Tips
Originally over 90 percent of the Steigerwald was covered with beech forest. Massive deforestation has caused a dramatic decline in beeches over the centuries, often replaced by faster-growing softwoods. In the north of the Steigerwald you can still find extensive beech forests, which you can explore on countless hiking trails.
