A brutal scar in the landscape that cannot be seen from the blue valley. Here the whole dimension becomes clear. At the same time repulsive and fascinating. The eye is looking for freeride lines and mountain goats, neither of which exist, instead heavy machines. Otherwise, there are some nice stretches towards Rusenschloss and Nägelesfelsen after the ascent.
