Currently, access to the trail and the hanging path is closed with a no-entry notice and a warning about danger to life.

....Man, how crazy is it up there...carrying 30m vertically up the rock, pushing is no longer an option, it's brutally steep...

Absurd, only for professionals with a penchant for self-flagellation, in my opinion the section should definitely be clearly marked as super strenuous with a certain degree of risk of falling, I also brought my bike up, turning back is definitely NOT an option. Good running everyone and always use your brains! 😎😎

beautiful valley ideal for hiking or a little walk

Demanding, partly stony, rooty and rocky single trail (in my opinion S3) 👌🏻 Partly deep abyss, some passages have to be pushed or carried even for the experienced, so nothing for beginners or a leisurely family outing! Be careful and considerate of hikers!

So whoever called this 50m path a gorge has never seen a gorge ;-)

But the best view is when you stand on top of the Kobersfelsen ;-)
