Steinknückl Summit

Highlight • Summit

There is a summit book on the summit of the Steinknückel, which is now the 9th edition. There is not often something like this in the Spessart, so it is absolutely worth a visit.

April 16, 2023,Steiger, Spessart🐧1, Kreuzgrund und Steinknückel

Our intrepid troupe starts in Steiger at 8 degrees and a medium feel-good drizzle. We follow the 🐧1 and above Waldaschaff comes this great piece of path with the rustic dry stone wall on the left, soft forest floor below, the impressive panoramic view of the Spessart and Haibacher Schweiz on the right (unfortunately no view today), and continuous humidification …

December 15, 2024,Steiger - Schutzhütte am Brandberg - Steiger am 15.12.2024

Nice hike with the Wandervögel from Goldbach.

We started in Steiger and went to the refuge on the Brandberg. We had a short rest there.

On the way back we signed the book on the Steinknückel at 418 m.

The descent to Steiger was rather slippery due to the confusing forest paths and light drizzle.

November 1, 2025,Brandberg…Steinknückel…Brandenberg…SpW1

...a leisurely hike with lots of photos...
For me, one of the most beautiful 2-hour hikes near Waldaschaff.

As always, I started at the Christe Bridge... over the Wingertsberg to the Brandberg... on to the Kohlhöhe and then towards Steinknückel... down to Steiger... back along the Spessartweg 1... I took lots of photos and captured the autumnal colors... I hope …

November 25, 2024,Steinküchl – Tour und wie die Blätter🍂unter meinen Schuhen 🥾 rascheln

This week, November is treating us once again to quite warm autumn temperatures. Reason enough to decide to go for a walk in the forest at short notice.
A walk in November
through the forest, where the bare trees reveal some of the things that summer has hidden.
The dry air smells of resin, the leaves rustle under my shoes, …

November 5, 2022,überm Steinknückl nach Steiger

In the morning the bike 🚵🏿 ♂️ wintered (for me the cycling year is over 🤔)... In the afternoon then hiked over the Steinknückl to Steiger and back 🥾
With the start of the tour, the sun 🌞 more or less blinked through the clouds and was a pleasant accompaniment to a fine autumn round 🍁🍂 in the immediate vicinity …

September 11, 2021,Ab Waldaschaff Christebrücke ūber Steinknückel nach Steiger

The hiking boots are preferred to the bike today. Took a nice hike close to home. Start was at the Christebrücke in Waldaschaff ... over the stairs to Ebets towards Brandberg ... to Steinknückel ... and then to Steiger. From the stone knuckle onwards, the search for a route was a bit adventurous. But somehow found the route over hill …
