The short circular hiking route leads once around the Steinaer local mountain, the Schwedenstein.

The route is great for a walk before or after a delicious meal at the mountain restaurant. From the observation tower on Schwedenstein, there is a great panoramic view of the surrounding area. The path is consistently marked with a green dot. Along the way, there are wonderful views of the town of Steina and in the direction of Upper Lusatia.
