    Hiking

    Steep, but scenically beautiful and lonely as the normal route to Wank

    Hiking

    For people who are afraid of heights, I consider myself [8/10] scared of heights and didn't have a problem. There are a few places where there is somewhat of a steep drop while the path is narrow. But I never experienced feeling too exposed. 95% of the path is between trees where you feel snug and safe.

    Basically, it should be said about this path that it is neither listed on the local hiking boards nor signposted. However, since there is no explicit prohibition sign or access is blocked, you can probably go this route. And yes, you really can walk it. It is steep and you should have the so-called "sure-footedness". With the right footwear, the path is no longer a problem. Significantly more demanding in the wet, but still possible if you know what you're doing. The beautiful views of the countryside are definitely worth the effort.
