    Tips

    September 5, 2021

    A challenge on the first ascent. Easily doable for ambitious hikers who are sure-footed, have a head for heights and are equipped with the right hiking footwear. Be careful of oncoming traffic. Not recommended for hikers who are prone to dizziness or are unsteady. It is best to secure children with via ferrata equipment. Dogs must be in a backpack.

      Really only suitable for sure-footed hikers who have a head for heights. We were once again unlucky that some people were stuck in the wall and didn't want to go forward or back... A nice tour that is now far too overcrowded.

        For a reasonably practiced a good tour, you should never make the mistake of starting up by train and then descending! Never ever, believe me
