Steinsberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The tower is accessible, but be careful: lots of steps, steep stairs and little opportunity to avoid oncoming traffic. Nevertheless, it is definitely worth it - the panoramic view from …

We were 12 hikers today and our colleague Hermann was there too, in the best winter weather. First of all, of course, the castle was visited and a birthday was celebrated. This time there was Vespers on the way.

December 14, 2021,"5-Hütten-Tour" zur Burg Steinsberg

After we were out and about in Heilbronner Land and Kirbachtal at the weekend, a hike in Kraichgau was planned for today.

We started our tour in foggy and damp weather on the Hasenlauf forest sports trail at the “Eichbaumhütte” car park. The first part of the way was on the fitness trail. One had a view of the fog-shrouded …

From there, it went past meadows and fields to the Eichbaumhütte, Dr. Gerhard Weiser Eiche, then on to the Hexenbuschhütte, over the Sachswegbrunnen past the Rankwiesenhütte, back to the starting point via beautiful, partly shady and sunny forest paths. A beautiful, varied and recommendable hiking …

July 8, 2022,Brückchen – Hexenbuschhütte, Burg Steinsberg, Immelhäuser Hof

At first it went quite a bit through the forest and only at kilometer 7 did it go back out into the field towards Steinsberg Castle. But still a very nice round. At the top of the castle we treated ourselves to a nice cool non-alcoholic wheat beer 😊

October 8, 2022,Zur Burg über den Sachsweg am Samstag

Another round in local areas today. On the Sachsweg it went from Sinsheim to Steinsberg Castle and back again. A nice varied round where you hardly noticed how quickly the number of kilometers grew. Mushrooms were also plentiful. But we're a little full at the moment...
Since that was a preliminary hike for tomorrow's group tour, I'm curious to see …

Great forest hike with refreshment stops. The tour starts at the “Hasenlauf” hiking car park. The parking lot is used by many joggers, serves as a starting point for a great "fitness trail" and also as a starting point for several different hiking trails. In the summer I already did the longer, signposted “castle” hiking route. Today I chose the …
