Hiking

At 157 meters, the Stimberg is the highest elevation of the Haardt. At the Stimberg there is a geological peculiarity: While the sandy soils of the area were eroded by erosion over the course of millions of years, the sand was able to solidify into solid quartzite rock. Therefore, the Stimberg better withstand the forces and is now higher than the rest of Haard. You can still discover some quartzite rock blocks up here on the summit and in the woods today.
