There is a cycle path along the Kinzig river through the Kinzigtal valley. It starts in Freudenstadt and ends in Offenburg.

Even from afar, the towers and gates invite you into the historic old town, and narrow alleys lead you into picturesque nooks and crannies. The "stone knight" greets us upright on the market square fountain. It bears witness to the pride and self-confidence of the former Free Imperial City.

The half-timbered house, dating from 1716, is Steinach's landmark. The roots of the "Adler," however, go back much earlier, to around 1570. In 1704, the house, like much of Steinach, was burned down. Reconstruction began in 1715.
