Hiking

The Steinkopf does not have a summit, but it does have a pile of stones on which a summit cross is placed. You are at an altitude of 570m and it is a nice stopover for a hike in the area.
The path from the Steinkopf to the Eichkopf, about 1.05 km away, is an experience in summer, a truly impressive forest landscape.

The almost 570 meter high stone head is worth a detour via a small root trail. A large pile of stones with a cross and a memorial plaque commemorates the crash of a "raisin bomber" here on July 28, 1948. Unfortunately, two American airlift pilots lost their lives.
