Steinwand

Steinwand rises to an elevation of 646 meters above sea level, featuring steep basalt formations and dense vegetation across its slopes.

The mountain formation dates back millions of years, when volcanic activity in the Rhön region created the distinct basalt structures visible today.

Local residents maintain traditional hiking celebrations throughout the year, marking seasonal changes with organized group ascents of the mountain.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from different starting points, with the most accessible route beginning at the designated parking area near Wolferts.

The mountain contains natural caves formed by ancient lava flows, creating intricate underground passages that reveal geological processes spanning millennia.
