Steinmandl, Mountain summit in Vorarlberg, Austria

Steinmandl is a mountain summit in the Allgäu Alps reaching 1982 meters with steep slopes descending toward the Schrecksbach valley. The peak is accessible through several routes that wind across its rocky terrain.

The summit received a new wooden cross in September 2011 after lightning destroyed the original structure that had stood there. Students from a technical school in Stuttgart carried out this restoration work.

The mountain location marks the intersection of three municipalities: Mittelberg, Bezau, and Schoppernau, reflecting the regional administrative divisions of Vorarlberg.

The Schwarzwasserhütte mountain lodge sits at 1620 meters and serves as the usual starting point for climbers. Routes from there lead to the summit with varying difficulty levels.

The old summit cross was destroyed by a lightning strike in 2010. A woodworking school in Stuttgart built a replacement, test-assembled it in June 2011 and erected the new wooden cross that September, with a SWR television film crew accompanying the project.
