Not far from the small town, the stream of the same name flows into the Tauber. A small parking lot serves as a starting point for tours into the famous cultural landscape of the Steinbach Valley.

Today we went to the Steinbachtal, a side valley of the Tauber. It is wonderfully integrated into the beautiful landscape and hiking here is really relaxing.
The path ran along the Steinbach down in the valley, where we crossed the stream several times over beautiful old arched bridges. At the old “Sühnekreuz” the path to the left was very steep …
