Petit Steinberg, Mountain summit in Grand Est region, France
The Petit Steinberg reaches an elevation of 1,177 meters and forms a ridge extending toward Metzeral, north-west of the Petit Ballon mountain.
During World War I, German troops established fortified positions on the summit, leaving visible trenches along the slopes of Petit Ballon.
The granite peak contains natural menhirs among scattered rocks, reflecting the geological formation that caught the attention of Celtic populations.
Visitors can start their hike from Col du Petit Ballon at 9:00 AM, following a 6-kilometer trail through forest paths to reach the summit.
A concrete bunker was integrated into the rock formation to create an observation point protected from bombardments during military operations.
