....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! 😎😎

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 ;-)
