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.

Beautiful place with a summit cross, the climb is not entirely without danger, there is a fall protection secured with a chain. The ruins are very overgrown and can hardly be really seen anymore.
