Hike to the Schabenreitnerstein in Steinbach am Ziehberg

Shaggy and I went to Schabenreitnerstein recently – a great little hike for in between. 😊

The Schabenreitnerstein is located in Steinbach am Ziehberg in the district of Kirchdorf. This short hike rewards you with a great view of the surrounding mountain landscape around the village. Generally, there are many great peaks in Steinbach am Ziehberg that I still need to explore this year. Honestly, I haven't really had them on my radar until now. 😄

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

We started directly from the public car park. You can find my exact Komoot tour further down in the post. Anyone who has been here before will notice that there is now a new path, which is very well signposted.

At the top, we had the summit all to ourselves and could also enjoy the view in peace. This short tour is perfect for a quick trip. 🏞️
