Hello! Only a few walls can be seen from the Sengersberg ruins. There is a cross on the summit. To get to this you need a good surefootedness and grip. The ascent and descent is secured by stable and securely fastened chains. Thanks to the forest club! Nevertheless, I had to pull myself up on this one. And the view was only clear to the north, otherwise overgrown. The hike over the Sengersberg is still recommended.

Hello! The ascent to the summit cross is quite dangerous. You must have good surefootedness and grip. You can pull yourself up and down on stable chains. If you haven't been up there, you haven't really missed anything. Only to the north is there a little visibility.
