Mittagsfels nature reservePhoto: K.-P. Kappest, K.-P. Kappest
A circular hiking trail from Glantal to Steinalptal to Mittagsfels, with a magnificent view into Steinalptal. The further path offers a vista at Steinhorst and Steinrech looking into Glantal and the Königsberg massif.
In spring, the pasqueflowers bloom beautifully at Mittagsfels.
Visit the historic oil mill in Sankt Julian (0171 - 2639076 - Mr. Klink or Mr. Metzger).

Author’s recommendation
Admire the Mittagsfels nature reserve.
The Mittagsfels nature reserve covers approximately 21 ha and is accessible via narrow paths. In early spring, the protected and very rare pasqueflower can be admired here. The rock gets its name from its orientation, as it lies in full sun especially at midday, creating a particularly warm and dry microclimate. During wartime, Mittagsfels was also used as a lookout point because it offers wide panoramic views into both valleys. (http://www.gastlandschaften.de )
There is an option to dine in Sankt Julian!

General information:
Especially in autumn, be aware that leaves on the ground can cover unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees may still fall or branches may break off. Especially in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is required in parts. You must expect such path impairments when hiking. If you consider certain sections impassable, you should avoid them.
NOTE:
We strive to announce all closures due to forestry work or hunting groups on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a trail closure or detour, please follow the instructions for your own safety.
