Steps dates from the mid-seventeenth century and was built for German school students who were located on the hill above. The steps was built in 1662 by Mayor Eisenburger, its purpose being to make easier access to the School form the hill during the winter.
Initially was 300 steps protected by a roof, but in 1849, after some changes there were only 175 steps. There is a legend that says that the boy has to kiss the girl on each step and call her name. If he does a mistake it means that is not the chosen one of the girl.
Thanks to the 1800+ people who viewed "Claw". It must be my most popular image to date.
I doubt that this one is headed for the front page, but I think that it has a certain charm. I wish that the shadow on the water wasn't there though.
One part of the rocky steps up to Thuya Gardens. Taken the day before Summer Party when it was more gray and overcast.
Confession: There were a lot of steps. It was near the end of the day. Michael had gone down to look at Northeast Harbor. Sarah and I took the trail up to the Thuya Gardens. There seemed to be no end in sight to the steps and no, you couldn't see from the bottom just how high up you had to climb. Sarah went ahead to reconnoiter and when she came back, we decided that I would come back the next day while she and Michael did their mostly vertical hike to the top of Cadillac Mountain.

In a small State Park in southern Kentucky, lies this beautiful set of stone steps. After climbing them, you find that they lead to nothing but a lovely wood. At some point in the past they were important, but the purpose is lost. I found a photo of the steps in the lobby of the park and had to discover them for myself and make them my own.
