How it works
Hike. Stamp. Collect.
Pick a destination
From the Totenstein on your doorstep to the Fichtelberg: choose a stamp station on the map – the app shows you the distance, the elevation and what awaits you at the top.
Hike there & stamp
Once you arrive, tap “Stamp now”. Your GPS confirms you are really there. The digital stamp lands in your Steigerpass – tamper-proof.
Earn your pins
From 5 stamps you earn the Kupfernadel (copper pin), then tin, silver and gold – all the way to the Steigerkrone (miner's crown). And your health insurer can accept your hikes as proof of activity for its bonus programme.
Everything in one app
More than just stamping.
Map, stamp book, pins, hiking trails and a feed – Steigerpass puts the whole region in your pocket. Here is what the app can do today:
GPS stamps
Check in on site – every stamp passes through a server-side verification chain and is tamper-proof.
Trail layer
Show marked long-distance and hiking trails in colour and see at once which trail leads to which stamp.
Pins & badges
Real collector's medals from the Kupfernadel (copper pin) to the Steigerkrone – complete with a little reveal ceremony when you tap them.
Offline mode
No signal on the summit? Stamping still works – the app syncs as soon as you are back in coverage.
Feed & “Glück auf!”
Follow friends, send greetings, become a summit patron and compete in weekly, monthly and all-time leaderboards.
Submit your own
Suggest new stamp stations and photos – the team reviews every submission before it goes live.
Light & dark
Light or dark design – to match the daylight and your taste. News & changelog are available right inside the app.
The region
88 places that are worth a stamp.
Basalt table mountains, lookout towers, 800 years of mining World Heritage and the forests at the gates of Chemnitz – curated by people who hike here.
Altenberger Pinge
Enormous collapse crater from historic tin mining on the edge of Altenberg, around 440 m across and up to 150 m deep, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2019. A circular mining heritage trail runs around the rim with viewpoints into the crater.
Auersberg
Second-highest peak of the Saxon western Ore Mountains, with a stone observation tower from 1860 and a mountain inn. Sweeping views over the forests around Eibenstock and Johanngeorgenstadt.
Blatenský vrch (Plattenberg)
1043 m peak near Horní Blatná with a 21 m stone-and-timber observation tower from 1913 and a panoramic view along the ridge of the Ore Mountains. Nearby lie the spectacular mining pits Vlčí jámy and Ledová jáma of the UNESCO World Heritage Mining Region.
Božídarský Špičák (Gottesgaber Spitzberg)
Third-highest peak of the Ore Mountains and the highest nepheline basalt dome in Central Europe, around 2 km southwest of Boží Dar. The summit itself is closed off as a nature reserve; a viewpoint lies at the western foot near the ruins of the Spitzberg houses.
Brückenberg
Forested peak in the western Ore Mountains west of Wildenthal and north-northeast of Carlsfeld, one of the highest mountains in the Saxon Ore Mountains. Separated from the neighboring Auersberg by the valley of the Große Bockau; a popular hiking and winter sports area.
Burg Frauenstein
Saxony's largest and best-preserved castle ruin, perched on a 680 m granite porphyry crag on the eastern ridge of the Ore Mountains. Built around 1200 as a border stronghold on the Silberstraße (Silver Road), with a residential tower, castle chapel and meter-thick curtain wall; open to visitors, with a viewing platform.
Badges

The big goal
The Steigerkrone
Every stamp station in the region stamped – and you wear the crown as king or queen of the mining district.
Plus these special badges:
- Erste Schicht (first shift) – your very first stamp, right on day one.
- Stadtbummler – Seven distinctive city landmarks of the region explored.
- Stadtwanderer – All 20 distinctive city landmarks of the region – urban nature & culture.

For health insurers & employers
Exercise you can prove.
Every stamp passes through a server-side verification chain: GPS plausibility, device attestation, speed checks against teleport tricks, daily limits and a trust score per account. What remains is a proof of activity you can rely on.
- Signed exports: users share their proof as a cryptographically signed document – insurers verify it via API in seconds.
- Verified activity only: suspicious check-ins never make it into the export.
- Data-minimal: only what the user actively exports is shared. No movement profiles.
