You can see the delicate little plants before you start the climb... it will be your goal... but remember your helmet and via ferrata set... and don't expect too much from any of your friends.

Viewpoint and destination of the Lenzsteig. You can get up if you are on the way without a via ferrata, via a short steep climb (south-east) or a longer path through the vineyard (north-west). From here you have a wonderful view towards Karlstadt and the Main valley.

The edelweiss towers high above the Main Valley and at the same time forms the end of the Lenzsteig. The view from here is fabulous! After the via ferrata, you can either hike a signposted steep descent back to the Faltes hut, or you can take another round, e.g. to the Lourdes grotto.
