Steinfleckberg, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany
Steinfleckberg is a mountain summit in the Bavarian Forest that rises to 1341 meters and stands surrounded by thick woodland. From the top, hikers can see across the northeastern landscape of Bavaria toward distant ridges.
The area around the mountain was historically used for forestry, with timber floated along waterways for centuries. Martins-Klause reservoir was built in past centuries to support and manage this wood transportation system.
The summit lies in the core zone of the Bavarian Forest National Park, where no marked trail leads to the top; walkers reach it via an unmarked forest path branching off the red-marked route from Finsterau. The Steinfleck Hütte, a hut a few dozen metres from the summit above a steep blockfield, serves as a shelter and lookout point toward the south.
Hikers can begin their trek at the Fredenbrücke car park, which is accessible from the B85 road. The route demands good fitness and solid navigation skills as it passes through varied forest terrain and steep sections.
No marked trail reaches the summit. The easiest route leaves the red-marked path from Finsterau on the southern slope, about 1,300 m southeast of the top, where an unmarked forest track branches right to the summit. The Steinfleck Hütte, a few dozen metres from the top above a steep stone sea, gives views mainly to the south.
