Beautiful mountain path with magnificent views of the Winterstein.

A great mountain with a great view of the back Raubschloß and very lonely, the way there is really primeval. You have to be sure-footed and have no fear of very small climbs, but you can do well as a healthy person. Here is not only the mountain the highlight, but also the great way there.

The path through the gorge is strenuous and can only be recommended from bottom to top and only in dry weather. You will also need your hands from time to time.

The ascent from Winterstein via the via ferrata is challenging but doable.

This staircase is currently very difficult to climb. There is also a sign on one side stating that the path is not accessible. The paths are full of fallen trees, making them very difficult to see. I recommend not taking this route at the moment.

A very nice view with a great view of the Hinteres Raubschloß.
There are some iron brackets on the way there.

Anyone who has climbed the stairs in the Bärenfangwände to the Gehackten Weg should not miss this detour as soon as the steep climb is over. The short path to the viewpoint has something especially for children - iron clamps.

Once you get to the front, don't slip into the cracks on the plateau, and you have a wonderful view of the Hinteres Raubschloß (Winterstein), the cowshed and the mountains above the Kirnitzschtal.

The path to the lookout point on the bear catcher is marked with green arrows (sporadically) in the terrain as a mountain path. Accessible from the top (Roßsteig) and below (from the red line outgoing); beautiful view around from Bloßstock in the west to Teichstein in the east ...

A difficult path over roots, stones and fallen tree trunks that goes up permanently. Particularly dangerous in the rain.

The path is impassable due to fallen trees. There is still a danger from falling trees.

Once you have completed the arduous climb to the Bärenfangwände, you will be rewarded with a comprehensive view (WARNING: Unsecured!!!). From here you can see the following mountains and rocks: Kleiner Winterberg, Neuer Wildenstein & Hausberg, Großstein, Winterstein, Lorenzsteine, Heulenberg, E-Flügel-Wand and Großer Teichstein. To the east, the view even extends as far as Hinterhermsdorf and the Weifberg.

The Bärenfang Walls offer a unique view of the Winterstein. From here you can also see the Lorenzstein, the small Winterberg and the Neuen Wildenstein (cow barn).
