Beilstein – a great after-work hike in Steinbach am Ziehberg

Steinbach am Ziehberg is an area I haven't thought about in a long time and, honestly, it also appears quite unremarkable. However, there are many great peaks and hiking trails here that you absolutely must see. 😊

Steinbach am Ziehberg is now truly one of my most visited places. Whether it's Mittagstein, Schabenreitnerstein, Nackter Kalbling, Pfannstein, Herrentisch, Rauher Kalbling, Eiskogel, or many others – there's always something to discover here. You can already find many of these hikes on my blog.

This time we went to Beilstein – a small, great summit with a beautiful view. 🏞️

The descent is a bit creepy, as the forest is very dark and desolate. I did, however, only go back down after sunset. 😂

You absolutely have to watch my Reel about it on Instagram:

The hike up the Beilstein

The hike starts from the large car park marked as the starting point in the Komoot tour. From there, it goes directly onto a forest path that is very overgrown and little used. After about 45 to 60 minutes, you will reach the summit via forest roads and further forest sections, where you will be rewarded with a fantastic panoramic view. 🤩

Caution: There are many fallen trees on the path. Caution is advised here. ⚠️
