⛔️ the Steigla〽️ is unfortunately not suitable as a hiking trail at the moment. Right at the beginning there is a barrier ⛔️ so that you have to go around the outside and only see the castle 🏰 when you go back 🔙. After about 2 km the path is completely blocked by wooden trunks 🪵 and twigs that are …

All in all a nice tour. The ascent for the way back to the castle on the right of the B85 is a bit adventurous due to fallen and transverse trees. An alternative route is indicated.

At just over 7 kilometers, the Fischbachmühlenweg is one of the shorter Steigla, but requires a certain level of fitness due to its steep ascents and descents. The start is directly at Lauenstein Castle, through which the path leads, before it then goes down to the lower village and further into the Loquitz Valley.
