Short sweaty walk to the landmark of St. Ingbert, the Stiefeler rock with the neighboring “Devil’s table” and nice refreshment possibilities in the Stiefeler hut. Afterwards, after a small circuit around the Stiefel, it goes steeply downhill again to the car park.
Autorentipp
According to legend, a giant named Kreuzmann once lived on the mountain in ancient times. He supposedly captured people and then ate them. Brave people from Rentrisch wanted to kill him by fumigating him out. The giant noticed this and in anger threw his whetstone, which he used to sharpen his large knives, at them. The stone flew into the valley and embedded itself in the ground; today it can still be seen in a front yard in Rentrisch as the Spellenstein. The legend about the giant ended well, as he fell during the chase and lay stunned on the ground. Seeing this, courageous men ran up and killed the monster.
Wegbeschreibung
From the hiking car park, the route goes directly steeply uphill to the large cross-path, which we follow briefly to the left before turning right again steeply uphill along the path to the mountain plateau with the Stiefeler rock. From here, it continues uphill over a small rock slab to the Stiefeler hut, where you can restore your electrolyte balance. At the hut, we hike directly down to the right and circle the “Stiefeler rock” in a large right curve until we reach the large cross-path again and then directly downhill over the steep path we climbed up earlier, returning to the hiking car park.

Sicherheitshinweise
Attention:
In principle, entering the forest and using the hiking trails is at your own risk.
Due to seasonal or weather conditions, increased surefootedness is required on some trail sections.
Therefore, wear clothing and hiking boots adapted to the season and weather with appropriate grip.
Please especially note:
Careful walking on the constructed stairs in the forest (they can be slippery due to leaf fall).
TOGETHER WITH RESPECT
Courtesy, understanding, and consideration for each other are fundamental principles for the cooperative use of our natural environment. The code of conduct is as follows:
Use existing paths, follow signage, and respect path closures
Leave no traces such as litter or dog waste and treat the path gently
Respect other users of forest and countryside
Show consideration for animals and plants
Plan in advance and make use of daylight
DISCLAIMER:
Despite repeated checks and careful preparation of the trail descriptions, the publisher assumes no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information provided here.
USAGE NOTICE:
Dear hiking friends, the hiking trails also lead along natural paths through pristine nature reserves and forests. Preserving and protecting nature is very important to us.
We would also like to point out the risks and therefore ask you to stay on the designated paths and not to enter any rock heads for safety reasons. Furthermore, we point out the presence of natural forest hazards. Due to weather conditions, some parts of the path may be waterlogged and slippery and must therefore be walked with particular caution. Firm footwear is thus recommended on all routes, and surefootedness is indispensable.
The use of hiking trails and premium hiking trails is at your own risk.
MARKING AND SIGNAGE:
All quality trails are circular routes that can be walked in both directions. Therefore, signage is provided for both directions. Try walking the route the other way around and you will discover completely new perspectives and different viewpoints.
