 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.
