The circular route leads from Steinen station through the Blattwald forest, the Sägel fen, and then to Steinerberg with a great view of the valley.

The circular route "To Steinerberg" leads from the village of Steinen along the railway line to Blattiswald. You will repeatedly encounter larches, which are rather rare at low altitudes and in the pre-Alps. The circular route repeatedly offers views of the west shore of Lake Lauerz. In the depressions between the rock blocks of the rockslide, ponds form habitats for various amphibian species. In Blattiswald, the route passes through structurally rich cultural land with hedges, rows of trees, and dry stone walls. Passing the Steinerberg school and the station, the path shortly after the Mulfisbach returns to the municipality of Steinen. The varied route continues along streets and meadow paths with steps alongside natural streams, meadows, and pastures towards Steinen. The path leads to the publicly accessible playground of the speech therapy school of the canton SZ and the special school, which invites you to linger. At the end, you can walk back comfortably to Steinen station.
