Description

The tour begins at the Gasthaus Steinberg and we start walking into the valley along the banks of the Windauer Ache.  After a short ascent we turn off just before a bridge on the right (see the signpost “Steinbergstein”).  We ascend along the forest path, taking short cuts now and again across open snow-covered Alpine meadows and eventually we reach the lower and upper Steinberg mountain farm (1,418m).  After the farm, we soon reach a sparse forest, which we cross through, steadily uphill.  Then we reach the mountain ridge where a small “stone man” identifies the Steinberg.
