Steinknückl Summit

Highlight • Summit

There is a summit book on the summit of the Steinknückel, which is now the 9th edition. There is not often something like this in the Spessart, so it is absolutely worth a visit.

From Steiger, the climb is quite steep. If you want to sign the summit register, you have to climb up.

 Steinknückl Mountain in the Spessart in Bavaria The Steinknückl, also known as the Steinknückel, is a 417-metre-high hill in the Spessart.[1] The wooded mountain is located in the Bavarian district of Aschaffenburg, directly on hiking trail 31 of the Spessart Association. It is located in the Weilerwald forest, about 1.7 km south of Laufach and about 2 km north of Waldaschaff. The Steinknückl is known for its strikingly tall holm oaks on the summit, which give it its name. Since there is a summit book on the top of the mountain, it is a popular destination for hikers and mountain bikers.
