This bench offers a wonderful view over the open country. It is located directly on the A6 and A7 hiking trails. The hiking trail is highly recommended, as it is sometimes very narrow, but also offers wonderful views.

The fact that there is snow is such a miracle! Roger Ebert Snow settles on the land like cotton wool & everything becomes very quiet 🤫... Well, not quite 😃 - the toboggan run in Linderhofe was a real hoot, but the path up to the Steinberg was pure winter fun ⛄️ - crunchy snow & thick cotton wool dots …

What bothers me about the rain ☔️
is his attitude...
Always so condescending!


Favorite rounds also 'go' with 🌧😉!
Pretty 'sloppy' in the forest!

November 13, 2022,Mal wieder zum Steinberg
After a long time we visited the Steinberg again today. With wonderful and still quite warm November weather, you could enjoy a great view. We found a piece of skull skeleton from some animal in the forest. A little creepy. Maybe someone has an idea who it could be from. In any case, the Steinberg is always worth a visit.

Today we went to Steinberg again. There was once again a view that was inspiring. Unfortunately the small water wheel didn't turn, so there's probably not enough water running on it. As always, we were surprised today why you are never alone on the Steinberg while you don't see anyone in the forest.

With wonderful weather and a great view, one of my favorite routes today. On to the Steinberg. The water wheel and the small waterfall were new. Great change.

Today, on Father's Day, we walked along the Steinbergweg trail. The weather was kind, although there was a bit of rain here and there. The trail to Raketenberg offers a lot of variety, with fantastic views and quaint paths. The old Sternberg Castle is also worth a detour.
