Steigerwald

Discover a magnificent piece of Francs - the Steigerwald with its extensive forests and lovely vineyards is an ideal hiking region. From the Thuringian Gleichberge mountains to the romantic, sleepy Haßberge mountains and the quiet hills of the Frankenhöhe, the hiking area is presented in 50 selected hikes in the Rother hiking guide "Steigerwald".
Wine and forest are the typical characteristics of the region. The hiking guide takes you through sparse beech and oak forests on well-marked paths. There are marvellous panoramic views from the mountains. The region is also rich in cultural treasures. Many castles, palaces and winding half-timbered towns can be explored on the tours.
The authors Anette Köhler and Stefan Herbke have selected 50 easy to moderately difficult hikes for this Rother hiking guide. They range from afternoon strolls to extended day trips and offer many tips on nice places to stop for refreshments and places of interest.
Each of these tours is presented with brief information, detailed directions, an informative altitude profile and a hiking map with the route marked. GPS data is available to download from the Rother Bergverlag website.
