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.

January 11, 2025,Extertal: 😊🌤❄️👍🏼 (m)eine Schneelieferung ist angekommen 🥾🍀

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 …

We parked in a private parking lot. The sign: Parking time with parking disc 3 hours, hikers free was confusing for us. It's just a mystery to us how they control it.
The plan was 8.6 km. On the way we decided to go to Sternberg Castle so it was over 10 km. The route as a whole didn't have …

What bothers me about the rain ☔️

Always so condescending!

Pretty 'sloppy' 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.

Orange stands for a glow that can flare up again at any time: lively, iridescent, flexible - lively

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.
