The Neunburg/Schwandorf area has us again so quickly 😂 We picked up the car from the garage and then headed back in the same direction. When we arrived at the lake, we were already looking forward to the wooden ball, but it looked very empty everywhere. According to the internet, it is open from Monday to Sunday... Should... Only on …

Was accompanied today, someone who is not so fast on foot and he wasn't sure if he could do it. As a reward, there was coffee and cake at the end and a big compliment.

July 21, 2022,Steinberger See 😊 Geburtstagsausflug im Zeichen der Kugel 😊

Actually we wanted to do a bike ride today for Helga's birthday.

After the sky was overcast and one or two raindrops fell, we decided without further ado to make a birthday trip to Lake Steinberger.

Like most spontaneous decisions, it was a good one. We spent a leisurely morning without large crowds at Lake Steinberger.

On my return journey from Lower Austria to Saxony-Anhalt, I chose the route through Bavaria so I could circumnavigate Lake Steinberg and also use it as a break.

Origin of the lake: In the mid-1980s, the Bavarian lignite industry ceased mining, and the mine was flooded.
This lake is part of the Upper Palatinate Lake District and is used …

June 9, 2023,Wackersdorf: Rundweg um den Steinberger See 🏄‍♂️ ⛱️ und Knappensee 🦢 🌳

Today's hike has taken us to the Steinberger and Knappensee 😅 a circumnavigation of the two lakes with a total of almost 13km was on the program. The intermediate goal was of course the adventure wooden ball, which is right on the lake and offers wonderful views of the lake. We also managed the few meters of altitude well 🫢 …
