Directions

The start is at Kroneplatz in Steina. Cars can also be parked here. From here, follow the "Yellow Dot" marking for about 1.5 km through the town, and then continue following the marking to a former quarry, the district of Finke, the Neuer Teich (New Pond), and the Schwarzer Teich (Black Pond). Here you cross the Haselbach on a historic stone bridge. Then continue on the Luchsenburg path to the "Forsthaus Luchsenburg" inn, where there is an opportunity to stop for refreshments. Continuing to follow the marking, you now reach the Tanneberg (386 m above sea level), which offers a fantastic view to the south. Then you pass through the municipality of Ohorn and via the Schleißberg you finally reach the Schwedenstein (420 m above sea level), which, in addition to a mountain restaurant with accommodation, also has an observation tower. From the Schwedenstein, it is then only a short, but steep, descent back to Kroneplatz.
