Running

Fantastically strenuous climb. Leaves you with a damn good feeling of having accomplished it. At the Heidelberg Trail Marathon, the final climb shortly before the finish.

Running

The ladder to heaven is well known to me from hikes - I've conquered one or the other time. On my run today, however, I only crossed it. The lower part in particular has it all - very steep and with some high steps - the upper part then becomes a bit more moderate.

The lock has been lifted for some time. It is worth going up to the Königstuhl from below.
