Steineberg

Steineberg is a mountain summit reaching 1,683 meters in the Nagelfluhkette range near Immenstadt. The peak features steep slopes and rocky terrain with marked hiking routes and climbing sections.

The paths across Steineberg began as traditional Alpine cattle routes when herders moved livestock seasonally over mountain passes. In the 19th century these trails evolved into marked hiking routes as mountaineering clubs grew in popularity.

The summit cross on Steineberg is a familiar sight for hikers in the region and shapes the landscape's character. It reflects the Alpine Christian tradition where such crosses stand atop many peaks throughout the mountains.

The summit can be reached from several starting points with routes of varying difficulty. Sturdy footwear and weather protection are essential since conditions at this elevation can change quickly.

A 17-meter metal ladder is fixed into the rock face providing climbers with direct access to higher sections of the mountain. This installation allows experienced mountaineers to navigate steep sections more safely.
