The stone dumps of the Steinsburg on the Kleiner Gleichberg near Römhild in Thuringia are a sea of volcanic rock formed by the eroding basalt blocks of the former volcano. They line the slopes of the basalt cones and are a typical feature of the crumbling volcanic ruins of the Gleichberg Mountains. The term "Steinsburg" probably derives from these large stone fields surrounding the mountain plateau. In Celtic times, these basalt blocks were used to build dry-stone walls for the oppidum (hilltop settlement) built around the mountain.

The basalt formed by volcanic activity is a major feature of the Gleichberge. On the surface, weathering has "broken up" the very solid and stable rock to such an extent that the boulders form so-called block heaps/block seas. In addition to the natural block heaps, another special feature are the remains of the ramparts from the time of Celtic settlement. Here on the Kleiner Gleichberg, entire mountain slopes can be seen, forming a huge block sea.

Very beautiful piece of nature, in good weather you have a fantastic view

With a dominance of almost 20 kilometers and a prominence of almost 300 meters, the Großer Gleichberg is one of the most sublime mountains in Thuringia and for that reason alone it is worth a visit. The surrounding towns are: Zellfeld in the northeast, Roth in the east, Simmershausen and Gleicherwiesen in the southeast, Gleichamberg in the south, Hindfeld and Milz in the southwest, Römhild in the west, and Haina in the northwest

The climb up to the plateau is strenuous, but the view from above makes up for the effort. You can look towards Franconia (Bavaria) or towards Kleiner Gleichberg (Thuringia). This is where the viewpoints get their name from.

Some paths are good for cycling. Pure nature!

Crossroads with many activity options, Dreisbachtal or Friedberg can be reached from here

From here it goes downhill in practically all directions.
