An ancient bridge, built of granite blocks, crosses the Haidenaab River near Steinfels. The castle and its chapel are also worth seeing; gravel and sand mining created a lake landscape.

In spring the cherry trees are in full bloom and it is a true splendor to admire them.

The directions are incorrect after the pond. You have to climb the slope via a right-hand bend, marked on the left. It should be dry and warm. The temperature difference in the forest is huge. Half of the pond was frozen even though it was 15°. Other than that, a really pleasant walk.

The path to the right along the pond is private property of the Altdorf fishing club and is guarded by an unfriendly, beer-bellied Cerberus who feels harassed by any kind of behavior.
