バート・シュテーベンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Seifengrundにある靴の木は高く、上まで靴がぶら下がっています。どうやってあんなところまで行ったのでしょうね？ 🤔

The Bad Steben thermal baths are a wellness area with over 900 square meters of water surface, various saunas, and spacious outdoor facilities. They are open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. There is a bistro in the entrance area.

Lovingly designed gnomes and gnome dwellings along the path to the Frankenwarte lookout tower. Great for the whole family!

During the winter months, most of the houses on Wichtelpfad are dismantled - they are being renovated.

The Frankenwarte (Frankenwarte) stands atop the 679-meter-high Hirschhügel (Hirschhügel). The eight-and-a-half-meter-high, round stone tower offers a panoramic view to the northeast, to the edge of the Höllental valley, to Lichtenberg and Bad Steben, and to the west to the hills near Nordhalben. To the south, Geroldsgrün, the 729-meter-high Spitzberg, and the 758-meter-high Schneidberg can be seen, and hidden behind them, the highest peak in the Franconian Forest, the 794-meter-high Döbraberg. To the southeast, the view extends to the Fichtel Mountains. The Frankenwarte was built and is maintained by the Franconian Forest Association. Plans to build an observation tower on the hill existed as early as 1930. However, the Frankenwarte was not inaugurated until August 12, 1951. In 2020, panoramic panels were installed on the parapet of the viewing platform, illustrating the towns and landscape features visible from here.

Mysterious gnomes have built several houses and holiday homes around Bad Steben, as well as a school and a mountain church. A path for explorers. Unfortunately, the small organic market has already been destroyed.

In Bad Steben, the topics of mining and geology are unavoidable. Gold was panned west of the spa town, and iron ore was mined around Bad Steben until 1858. The "Geology and Mining" educational trail from Bad Steben to Blechschmidtenhammer, with 17 display panels, vividly illustrates the more than 1,000-year history of mining in the region. In 1793, Alexander von Humboldt founded the "Bergschule zu Steben" (Mining School of Steben) in Bad Steben, the world's first vocational school for miners. A mine railway in the park opposite the spa building commemorates the coal and fluorspar mining, which ended in 1968.

A total of 19 of the original 22 white lions can still be found in and around Bad Steben. These aren't real big cats, of course, but rather clay sculptures painted by artists and now resplendent in magnificent colors, like this lion in the spa gardens. The art project "Lion-Strong Bad Steben" ran in 2004.
